.....................................the marathon.
two posts in one morning. i have reached a new threshold of slack. i guess i need to balance the fact that adam doesn't update anymore (hee, he, he).
i needed to get something off of my chest. i told robin this last night... ever since i stayed home from work sick and watched the boston marathon i've been obsessing about running again. it's really weird. the number 3:00:00 to be exact. besides completing an ironman, running a sub 3hr marathon is tops on my list of 'to do athletically.' i'm biking this summer, but maybe the marathon would be a good winter training goal for next year? we'll see.
sometimes i think i'm a little psychotic. i mean, really...come on.
i've always said that if/when we have children i would take back to running because, well, you can pack a lot more quality training in relative to biking. i mean, if i ran the 8-10 hours a week i currently bike train i'd be logging 60-ish miles/week (assuming i can still average mid 7s in training...might not be able to). that's plenty for marathon training. plus, vacations, business trips, etc. it's a lot easier to get a workout in. i mean, all you need are some shoes and a few articles of clothing. and a 1 hour run is a decent mid mileage workout (for us mere mortals there pat).
alright, i'm over it for now. thanks for putting up with me.
