“At this point I’ve come to the conclusion the only way I’ll get through them all is to believe in reincarnation. If I were honest, every year I’d just say, “Okay, this year I really have to eat more pizza, forget birthdays and anniversaries, and say at least five incredibly inappropriate things, no, make that six.” I keep making one resolution, though, that I am planning to do. I really want to run another marathon. It has to be Grandma’s Marathon up in Duluth, Minnesota. I do remember the last... time I ran Grandma’s it hurt a little, but the neighbors who saw me pull my car up after the race said my walk from the car to the front door was the longest hour and a half of their lives, a horrible sight, like a slow-motion accident they couldn’t take their eyes off of. But the next time, I tell them, I’m going to try something different. I’m going to train. I actually enjoy running. There’s a “runner’s high,” a euphoria one gets from running long distances, that I hope to feel one day, and Grandma’s is a great marathon.MoreLessRead More Read Less
