Mr President

Having not done too many marathons (just one) it is hard for me to say if my Beaujolais course is tough or not. But one thing for sure is that  I did not do too well in it. I ran out of energy at about 30km and pretty much walked from there.

And now I see that President Bush and a whole bunch of other politicians have whipped my arse. I feel it is my duty to run in it (Beaujolais Marathon) again to see if I can at least beat Bush's time. I will not do any specific marathon training, will just run it if I am feeling good on the day.
