So. I've decided to start training for a marathon.
I hate running. Why am I doing this? Well, I figure if I can challenge and possibly defeat something that I hate mostly because it gets the best of me, then I can believe in myself. Because you see, I don't think I've ever really believed in myself.
Its my own fault really. I've never given myself the opportunity to see what I'm really made of. I've never pursued something that felt impossible for me to do.
I'm training for a half marathon. 13.1 miles. Sweet Moses. I ran today for about a mile and nearly collapsed. The marathon is in November, which means the bulk of my training will be during the summer. The summer. In Arizona....summer.
If I die of heat exhaustion, just know that I love you all and we'll have coffee with Jesus together soon.
Technically Day 1 of training starts on Monday the 28th, but I wanted to get in a few practice runs before I started.
Even though I haven't got it all figured out yet, I have this feeling that by doing this, a flood gate of suppressed emotions will pour forth in some ungraceful manner as I'm physically and mentally broken down. But hey, I'm almost 28. I guess its time for something like that.
I want this. I want to be successful and I want to kick my own ass.
So here we go.
