The practical benefits of endurance running

So we got robbed today. Literally. My husband came home from work to find two guys inside our house packing all of our valuables into our suitcases. Luckily they were more scared than he was and ran away only with my ipod and digital camera. My husband chased them for a block before stopping. In an effort to laugh through a really scary situation I told him if he were training for a marathon like me, he would have been able to catch them, saving my ipod and digital camera.

In all seriousness though, it was a scary day - but I still ended it with a 4 mile run!
