My marathon is on April 25 (the Mapoma de Madrid). If all goes well, I intend to run of New York in the not too distant future, before my body starts to tire.
I have not met the schedule to the letter, I have been running fun runs and half marathons, including the average of Valladolid, and the average America.
And as discussed in this life to overcome challenges, for nothing, go for the marathon. Is anybody coming?
