Dont want to share. (Read 959 times)

It's sad to say there is some truth in that statement. It's not adventure racing but instead it's multiple marathons within one year. My plan is for two, possibly three marathons and 2 half-marathons. Now I know my training is no where near that level but my competive nature won't allow me to be run-of-the-mill. Save me from myself.

If you want to focus on the marathong - great! If you want to set yourself apart from the pack, a 38 minute 10k will do much more to accomplish that than a 4:15 marathon. Basically just saying there's more to running than 26.2 And no, nobody is going to save you from yourself. You're here to be victimized just like the rest of us.

I haven't really given too much in the way of advice. Yesterday, a co-worker dropped by to share the "Running Room's Book on Running" with me and tell me that he'd signed up for a May half marathon in Alberta, his first race. This guy is hoping is hoping for a 1:40 time! Outside of work, I was a little down earlier this week, I put out a feeler with someone who I'd like to see run a race... They have never run a race. I just think my feeler my have been taken the wrong way. ****! I guess I'll let things settle.

I love it when others at work decide to start running because I'd love to have the company. Some even come out at lunch and run the trails with me. I've been doing lunchtime runs every day for the past 12 years where I work and to this day there has not been a single person that started and has stuck with it for more than 2 years . And the 2 year guy was the only one that lasted near that long - most last about a month and they almost always start running in January! On the bright side, the 2 year guy just started back running and is training for a marathon using the Marathon for Mortals book.

For a long time I was known as the guy who shat himself, so sometimes no title at all is better than having one.
