Why a Marathon?

26.2 miles 15 days away. I have asked myself this question many times in the past month. Some mornings are more difficult than others to answer the question. Nov 19, 2011 last long workout started about 6:30 am.
I remembered thismorning why I love the workouts on the American River Trail.

I missed picts of the buck and doe and the wild turkey family. This is what we saw.
