Finding a good place to Start I won't mention the name of the race, nor where it took place; but I was running as a bandit in this particular Marathon. Bandits are runners who train hard year round but for one reason or another are not able to enter the race. The start of the race at mile 1 was off limits because there were too many cops and race officials on guard. Instead, in order for me to get a good starting place, I had to run for 8 miles on a back road until mile marker 3 of the Marathon.
The purpose of this blog is to put you the reader in shoes of an athlete. In order to experience the ups and downs of training and competition.
