Good luck bodyman, but even more good luck to kingspeed.

Eric - get off your ass and start training, things just got serious!
Thanks. I'll finish. Someone in my building did it last year and I told her it was something I always wanted to do but was afraid to. She encouraged me to do it. I'm always so amazed by all the runners walking around the city. I've always said the two things that scare me the most (because I'm drawn to them) are running a marathon and doing standup comedy). If I pull off the marathon, you'll see me in comedy clubs next year.

Good luck, it's always a combination of daunting and exciting to tackle something that's out of your wheel house. Right now I'm just over halfway towards losing 130lbs, and I kind of felt the same way about attacking that goal as you do about the marathon, always wanted to, but seemed scary to try. But once you get neck deep in the project, it starts to get fun and becomes it's own form of inspiration. Keep us up to date on your progress, and post some pics building up to, and including the big race.

Standup is very hard. It's not something you can just try, you gotta commit and be okay with eating shit.

That's why I'm scared of it. But I've hung out with the comedians at the Comedy Cellar here in NYC. I went every night for a couple months to study them over and over. One of them wants me to do it but like a marathon, it seems like the hardest thing in the world. But I'm 40, I'm gonna go after everything. I have a tattoo, an earring, gonna run a marathon and try comedy. Woohoo!
 
So I ran a 4 mile race in Central Park this morning. Finished in 44:16. Next month, I run a 10K.

I love this post!

I'm also 40 and attacking a bunch of things for the first time. You only live once.
 
Training is progressing. Today, I ran 9 miles in 1:46:07. 24 miles total this past week.
 
That wager isnt fair, I talked to him on the phone 7 years ago while I was shit talking with PapaG. I posted my phone number and Eric called me. I told him PapaG was a f#@..hadn't really thought the slur through at the time. Doubt if Eric likes me much. He would probably want me to lose.

Even still, I will bet 25 bucks....easy money.
Is this bet still on?
