Vicarious Blogging
Thursday, May 03, 2007

Here are two tidbits from my friend Melanie, who has requested the opportunity to "blog vicariously" every now and again. After taking a hiatus from running after high school (where she was a record-setting speedster on the Grafton cross-country team), Mel jumped back in with both feet this past January, and is going to run the Green Bay Cellcom Marathon on May 20th with me and my sister.

Item #1 -- from the "Crazier than the Ironman" and "I hope Erin Doesn't Attempt This" files: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=600579 (after, check out reporter/blogger Tom Held's account of running a few miles with the driven Jason Dorgan, "Running with Jason" on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's "Off the Couch" blog).

Item #2 -- from an email a friend of ours sent her, attempting words of encouragement: "With a few more weeks of training you should be able to hold off on getting sick for a couple more miles. I’ll have a barf bag ready at Mile 22."
