So, Bill and Christine have really inspired me as they have already accomplished their fitness goals. (Congrats again, Bill and Christine! You both rock!!!) It made me start thinking about this wonderful opportunity to train with my friends, to feel purely exhausted and to be a better person physically and mentally. Yes, I am talking about training for the full 26.2 mile Columbus marathon with Concetta! This is my fitness goal for 2009. Then my mind shifted to the fact that I need to run more than walk to make this happen and drop some pounds so my body can handle all of this. Concetta was so kind to remind me yesterday that I asked for accountability last week which is why I said that we ran more than we walked yesterday. When the alarm clock went off this morning @ 5:30am, I thought to myself... "you need to exercise more than you need sleep." This was enough to get me dressed and out the door. But, when I started running, my mind shifted again thinking that I could still honor this mode of training if I shorten the distance. Right? Not exactly!!! Distance, pace and ability to breathe are all important milestones for me right now.
