My friend Amy asked me to run the Aeromak Marathon with her. When she explained the training schedule, I asked her if there
were any shortcuts to victory. She swiftly explained that the race is cheater-proof. I ask you, is that fair?
I'm all for winning a marathon without actually running a marathon. I told her I figured I'd duck out from behind a porta potty or the
Stevie Ray Vaughan statue and make a mad dash for the finish line. The months of rigorous training were the sticking point for me,
and then there's that 26.2-mile jaunt. The .2 part I can handle.
