Last week when I was all high on running, I was reading Runner's World and it recommended starting a blog. It seemed like such a good idea at the time, that I created it. I also read Runners World from cover to cover for the first time. Usually there's some part that just seems unbearable. " Oh god, please don't tell me what to eat."
First order of business is stating a goal. About a week ago, I was at a party and this girl was talking about preparing for Boston. Ally said that I should qualify for Boston, then she'd come stay with her family and cheer. I acted like that's crazy talk, as if I would ever qualify for Boston. In truth that was already my plan. I'm very goal oriented. I was visualizing myself running marathons a year before I signed up for my first one. I've been contemplating Boston on my training runs for over 6 months.
What's crazy is that I honestly think I'm going to go from a 4:22:17 two weeks ago to < 3:40:59 in about a year. I'm pretty sure that if I posted this to a running site they'd suggest this was a bit bold.
Whatever. I can do it.
First order of business: admit goal. Check.
