The moment of truth has arrived. On Aug. 23, I’ll be running my first-ever marathon in Santa Rosa. The starting gun goes off at 6 a.m.; my finishing time, of course, has yet to be determined. My goal is to finish in 3 hours, 27 minutes, 34 seconds, which equates to a 7:55-minute mile pace over the 26.2 miles.
Welcome to "Just Run" my modest attempt at a blog about all things running. My name is Chuck Kaekel and I have been running on and off for almost 40 years.
