Back when I was a run leader at the Y Marathon Running Clinic, we’d have an overflow crop of eager new participants at our first Sunday morning run of each New Year. Some even told me that this was finally going to be the year in which they quit smoking, lost 30 pounds, and ran a marathon! “Pick one!” was my pragmatic response to such announcements . . .

By mid-March, our overflow January crowd had inevitably dwindled in size (thanks to the sad reality of most New Year’s resolutions like the triple threat mentioned above) down to a manageable group of those who actually made it all the way through summer training to reach our annual marathon/half-marathon events in the fall.
