I wanted the URL for this blog to be onemoremarathon, but it was already taken. Apparently I'm not alone in wanting to blog about my attempt to run one more marathon (well, actually 2, but more on that later). There's some guy in Denver, CO who goes by 'Rocko' who also wants to run another marathon, and decided to blog about it. The header of his blog sums it up nicely: "I'd like to run marathons the rest of my life. My knees would prefer otherwise. We'll see if we can compromise with one more race."
Right now, I'm ahead of Rocko. Other than creating a blog (in 2007, no less), he's done nothing (other than take my desired URL). No posts, no followers, no nothing. I've at least done something with this blog.
Well, maybe the reason Rocko (I'm assuming Rocko is a man; otherwise the name would be Rocka) hasn't blogged is because he's been too busy training for that final marathon. Maybe Rocko is running that marathon in the sky right now. Who knows?
I googled 'rocko denver race results' and didn't come up with much. I did see something about a Rocko Buswell in Denver, CO, but he's only 27. Usually the knees are good for at least 30 years. I saw another Rocko listed as finishing a 5K in Denver at a bit over an hour. I'm sorry, but if you're running 20 minute miles for 3.1 miles, you have no business even thinking about a marathon.
So, bottom line is that I don't know much about Rocko. But, this blog isn't about Rocko. Rocko has his own blog, even though he's done nothing with it.
This blog is about me, a middle-aged man seeking to get his mojo back by running one more marathon (well, actually 2, but more on that later).
