Registered For the National Marathon in D.C. - March 26 2011

Yesterday, before an increase in registration fee -  I mentally weighed my training thus far and concluded that it was time to take the plunge and register for the marathon.   Therefore I committed myself last night by registering online for the SunTrust  National Marathon , in Washington, D.C. on March 26, 2010.   I hope my training and especially my knees keep up! To qualify for the marathon - I used my time for the half-marathon I did in 2009.   On the registration form they also ask what time do I think I will finish the Marathon in.    I really don't know, all I want to do is go the distance.    So - I put in 4 hours and 30 minutes, but who knows - maybe I'll do better.   Here are some of the times I found for 'famous' people which completed a Marathon: Governor Mike Huckabee - (4:38:31)     Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, Humpy's Marathon 2005 (3:59:36) George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States, Houston Marathon 1993 (3:44:52) Al Gor
