"Her approach to trail running, Shelton says, came from Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums. ‘Try the meditation of the trail, just walk along looking at the trail at your feet and don’t look about and just fall into a trance as the ground zips by,’ he wrote. And her race philosophy comes from Bukowski: ‘If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire.’"

About me

Less than 1% of the world will ever finish a marathon.

I will finish two three!

Follow my pain, heartbreak (hill and otherwise), triumph and hundreds of miles logged as I train for the 2011 Boston Marathon and raise $7,500 for cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Donate to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, my marathon cause.
