I concocted an adventure to run some of the great marathons of Europe while on a walkabout designed to visit the great ruines in Italy, to see the wonders of Paris, and to hear the music of the great masters in Vienna. As I approach retirement from my Federal civil service career, I now know that the trip is becoming a reality. Many of my friends are encouraging me to keep this blog so they can track my planning and traveling adventures...that's a good thing! So, stay tuned for more odds-n-ends as I put things together. Remember, train hard...run far!
