There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity...that's what my dad used to tell me growing up. Thought I'd try to find out how close I could get by trying to run back to back Marathons. Washington DC on Saturday March 20 and Virginia Beach Va on Sunday March 21. Seemed easy enough back in November when I thought about it. Running back to back long runs in Feb and March in Barrie hmmm. The events themselves were almost a blur... Washington DC just as the cherry blossoms were coming out, running past historical buildings, a great feeling. Hilly course a 3:32 and off the the Beach. a 4 hr drive, eat dinner, sleep up at 5 and do it all over again. Goal was to finish.First 1/2 in 1:43, second 1/2 more walking then running but mission accomplished, minus several toe nails. The hardest part of the weekend a 16 hr drive back home, The weekend was over in a blur.
The good news.... it's not really as hard as it sounds.
