Well I am officially registered for the "People's Marathon" known better as the Marine Corp Marathon. The graphic is tough to see, but it is the course that swirls its way through our nations capital. This will be my first marathon.

I do have an issue as it pertains to hurricane's. If a hurricane is on the radar during the period of time I will be leaving Puerto Rico to run, I will need to do the responsible thing and not leave Christa to chance. But the race is October the 26th, which is the latter part of the h-season but still well within the season.

So I still need to put together a plan in terms of sponsorship and all that. Last August I ran a 10K on Cape Cod and raised about $2,000 for Dana Farber Cancer Foundation. As I said before, when one is as healthy and lucky as I, I think it a duty to curtail the amount of moaning and give back while you can.

On another note I'm flying back to the states today to begin my little tour of the United States. I should be back in PR in late June. Of course all plans are subject to change in a flash or at my latest whim.
