Hi! It’s me again!! i didn’t mention the half-marathon in my town is on january or february (it’s not already dated). Some years it’s on january and some other years it’s on february. And don’t mind you’re knee. It’s sad and painful but you must not give up with the idea of leave the running. As Chad said (another mail below) try other distances and you can go step by step, and you will see how your knee reacts.

Sorry if something in the first comment disapointed you. It was not my intention. I only want to invite you to visit Barcelona and try this half-marathon (it’s not complicated at all).

Buena suerte (Good luck)!!!

And besos y abrazos (Kisses and hugs)

Hello, Ms. Allison and congratulations for what you did. I have tried to run that distance but on the first 5 miles my brain starts to throw me sentences like that: Are you crazy? If you want to go that far, why don’t take a car? -and i stop running, jejeje!! But next year I will run it. My father, who runned a marathon when he was 60 years old, used to run half-marathons, specially one in my town (Granollers, close to Barcelona), which is known as one of the best here in Spain, and next year he won’t run it because his disease (cancer) and I want to run it for him. That point brings me to tell you:

I invite you to run this HALF-MARATHON in my town next week. When I say I INVITE YOU means that exactly: come to my town (if you want, you can stay in my house, which is not as big as an hotel but it’s my house, and you’ll have all the things you wish, food, a bed, friends to talk with, peace…), I’ll show you Barcelona if you haven’t still been here, I’ll cook for you (or my girlfriend, who cooks thousands of times better than me) and I’ll give you a little holidays knowing a new country (maybe a new language?) and enjoying the peace, the sun and the half-marathon run. If you accept, you have my e-mail. If not, don’t worry, I understand you have work to do or maybe you can think I’m a mad man obsessed with a famous actress and wishing to kill her or something.

Anyway, if you read this and you don’t get angry or afraid of me, thank you and consider the invitation (I’m not a bad guy, truly).

See you (on TV)… kisses!!!

PS: Strength and honor!!

Allison,
Have you attempted another distance run? As a distance runner myself I would encourage you to do so. It is the greatest sense of accomplishment I have ever experienced! I know about the fragility of the knee though; after my last race I went out for a simple training run and the next thing I know I could barely walk…I was shelved for 2 months. I am now back at the training and I hope you are as well.

Chad

Seems bit behind on this one. I apologise but I just found the website. (Very nice by the way). Your post definately rings true. I found the part about getting so completely caught up in the idea of “the race” that you overlooked the journey it took to get there to be such a common a theme to us all. To me anyway. Our entire life takes place in this present moment , and the future and past, while nice to look to with hope or reminice about with fondness, are not really here and now in reality. So in your example, truly eperiencing the journey of training is not only the means but the end itself. What a nice lesson. Keep up your training (in running and in life)! I’ve got a bad case of tendonitis in my right knee keeping my on the eliptical for now but I’ll be back on the trail soon enough!

Hello, Ms. Mack:

This comment is pretty stale, I’m afraid. I hope you are well recovered from your injury. If you are looking for a half or full marathon still ahead, how about the Diamond Valley Lake races out in the Inland Empire? It’s on January 19. If you schedule permits, it’s a good race. Small, not too hilly and sponsored by Habitat for Humanity. Not in LA so I don’t think you’d be mobbed with press. Here’s a link:

I ran the half marathon last year and can attest it was well run.

PS: I like Rumi too, though I confess to being lost in much of his stuff.
