What's really hard to believe about this whole thing is that it's been over 2 years since I last competed in a foot race. I grew up running track and cross-country, and developed a love/hate relationship with running very quickly. It's just one of those things. You hate doing it, but love that endorphin high when it's all over. In October 2009, I completed my first and only half-marathon with my ex-marathoner father. It was one of the most inspiring, but humbling experiences I have ever had. People who don't run long distances think people like me are crazy. But to me, distance running is one of the most profound personal feats you can set out on. It's not even so much about the actual race day that is the real test of your resiliency and dedication. It's about the months and months of training you have to embark on in order to prepare yourself for just one single final performance. I'm ready to cross the big 26.2 off my list of life goals. I'm ready to dig deep mentally and physically over the next 207 days and do something for myself. I'm ready to test my strength, dedication, and potential. I'm ready to reach the finish line on marathon day and know that I did it. So let the training begin!
