Before you know it, you will be able to enter one of those races. Very few people who run these races are good enough to actually WIN any prizes. Tommy is pretty naturally talented at running. And i was twenty pounds overweight. So half the time i'd be huffing and puffing just bringing the laundry up the stairs.
Distance runners have to take good care of their bodies.
They have to eat properly, get plenty of sleep, and avoid tobacco and excessive alcohol. So i have been trying hard to maintain that healthy lifestyle for the past year. Because we don't have any family members who could take care of Tommy and Jared if anything were to happen to their Dad and to me. I have entered six races. Most of the time i finish about 450th out of 480 people.
