You know, based on the stuff I'm finding out about professional discrimination victim Fatina Abdrabboh via Ankle Biting Pundits, Michelle Malkin, and Brainster, not to mention Technorati.com, I'm getting really curious about Fatina's marathon training regimen.
I roasted myself on Sunday (ran 17 miles), Monday(10 miles) and yesterday (10 more). The first was early in the day, the second two were mid-day, the temps were in the lower 90s.
Each day I wore just a light-colored singlet and shorts. Wearing the get up Fatina had (see prior post) on a day when it's even just 70 degrees seems insane. If that's what Fatina is wearing, what's her daily mileage? Does she do a long run on the weekend, as I do?
What organized races has Fatina run in?
Also, although there are many charitable exemptions, but the Boston Marathon is a race that runners have to run a qualifying time to be accepted as an official entrant. And online applications for the Boston Marathon won't be accepted by the race officials for another six weeks.
Thanks to Pat Curley at Brainster for e-mailing the Christian Science Monitor article to me this afternoon.
UPDATE 12:15PM CDT Aug 3: The 2006 Boston Marathon is on April 17th. Even for a presumably first-time marthoner, and speaking as a runner who knows hundreds of runners, I think it's odd that she's training for a marathon that is almost nine months away. And she still has to get accepted into the race by the marathon officials.
