| Team Parkinson at the Catalina Marathon |
Posted: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - eCatalina.com
by John Ball
The Catalina Marathon has been an icon in my catalog of marathons for as long as I can remember. Most references to it are given in such awe-filled terms it leaves one totally intimidated. For years I have wondered if I would ever have the confidence and strength to attempt such an endeavor - 26.2 miles of continual climb and descent on rough trails over an undisturbed primitive landscape. Even with eight or nine LA marathons to my credit, I was too cautious to give it a try when my Team Parkinson training partners, Doug MacGlashan and Mark Saxonberg, took it on in 2003. After all, it was just two weeks after the LA Marathon and I was bushed from giving my all at LA. My wife, Edna, and I are the National Co-Chairs of Team Parkinson, and we spend a great deal of energy getting ready for the expo, the carbo-load dinner, and the race day activities. I am usually exhausted by both the getting ready and by running the marathon itself. Although I wasn't prepared to run another marathon that weekend, I did go to Catalina Island to cheer my teammates, and worked my way up the mountain to help Mark finish the last five miles.
