Last night during half time, say around 10:15?pm, Caroline asked me what time the marathon started. I told her it started at 7 am but because of road closures they wanted us parked no later than 5:30 am. Doing the math, I suspected I needed to get up at 4 to get set and make the 38 minute drive to downtown Raleigh from Harper and Allison’s.
Caroline, who is a fan of running but not races, asked me why I would do that… why would I get up so darn early when I could just walk out the door at a more civilized hour and do a run for myself? I had an answer for her at the time.
At this moment, I have no answer…
