Why Should I?

• I love Naples! I go there to play tennis every spring!!
• The race is on my 12th wedding anniversary
• The day after is Martin luther King Day – a work holiday!
• I can use my frequent flier miles to fly for free!
• I missed my first 10K 
• I am running longer runs on the weekend (already ran 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 miles)
• I still have 10 weeks left to train (see plan below)
• I should run a half before my knees die & my body quits…

So how’s that for a 400th post?  Going out on a limb and thinking beyond 3.1 miles 🙂
