Psycho Runner, Qu'est-ce Que C'est?

I have not blogged in a long time, but last night Jenn and I did something noteworthy but kind of crazy. We both registered for the MetroPCS Dallas White Rock Marathon on December 5, 2010. Adding my hometown, we will now run a marathon three months in a row, Grand Rapids in October and New York City in November. And with London in April, that makes four marathons in 2010.

Our mileage has been high this year with weeks hitting 50 miles in training without an end in sight. Talking Heads immediately comes to mind:

Psycho [runner].
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away.

When David Byrne sings, we listen.

The U.S. tour of They Might Be Runners 4 Life will stop by close to many of you. Our team name this year originally signaled us running our fourth marathon for life (i.e. the AIDS Foundation of Chicago). It seems ever more fitting that Jenn and I will each run four marathons this year alone.

There is still time to join. Come out and cheer us on. Depending on the city, we'll have friends and family with us too (Dan in NY, Dad in Dallas). Or support us remotely through donations to the AIDS Foundation of Chicago through our team. No Ticketmaster charges on that site. Thanks to everyone.
