Running across the playground the other day, has turned out to be really important. I keep thinking about it, over and over. Partially because my legs still hurt, but also because it felt really good, strong, fast (for such a slow jog). My hubby suggested I should keep going: tomorrow run to that tree, then the next day run to that one. "Eventually you'll run a marathon," he said............ heavy pause in my chest followed by sudden elation................. I could run a marathon. I could do that. Wouldn't that be crazy. Could I do that? Yeah, I could do that... mentally anyway. Huh.... could I do it in one year? Well... let's say two? Yeah, let's "try" I say to myself, knowing full well I'm going to give it my all...
Running log:
- (3/29/07) 25 yds, slow jog across the playground
- (3/31/07) 50 yds, to the tree, slow trot, laughing out loud like a lunatic, almost ran back as well, but immediately thought the better of it when I stopped to turn around (legs were cramping and so were my cheeks). Hey doubled my distance already!

Well, I think you already ran a marathon, a 48-week marathon. If you want to run a 26 mile marathon, I say go for it!
I'd say go for it too! What a goal to get back into the swing of things. I got a few goals going this year too....mostly to do with cycling & kayaking;) I intend to be so exhausted by the end of the year that I can't even see straight;)
On your marks! Get set! GO!!!
Ample, if you could do 48 weeks of hell, you CAN DO ANYTHING, you can even fly to the moon, just go for it.
