So here we go. The training starts. It's actually not bad. One, because the mileage is really low. Something that I am definitely used to. Like 2 miles. My adage is, I am going to start off slow and taper off from there, so the mileage now is easy.
But you fast forward to the training schedule which show by end of March 2009, I will be doing long runs of about 8-10 miles. This seems daunting. The longest "race" I've ever run in was a Phoenix 10k about 1000 years ago and that is 6.2 miles. So 8 miles seems steep.
And add to that is that a marathon is 26.2 miles. Doing some quick math shows that 26/8 is 3.25. This means that my longest run ever will happen in a month and that's only 1/3 of what I'll need to complete this run.
I feel like I'm in school when given a large book to read and you see the page count. I feel like there's a lot of pages here. Not sure how it's going to get done.
But I venture on...

C-
ReplyDeleteJesus, Christ. I thought I was in shape . . . damn you are pretty ballsy - a quality I like in many women, and tend to appreciate even more in men when they follow through with things.
And yes, the smallish women do rule the world - but sometimes, when we are feeling very, very generous, we allow others to feel that they have a little say.
This is really inspiring to me - truly, no smart-assness about it.
Much of luck to you - and hit me up next month - I will certainly contribute. I am broke as shit today - just blew $2500 this weekend.
Peace out,
Love,
Vanessa
