Now what? Marathon has been on my mind since I was selected in the lottery in March. That’s all I could think about. Was I ready to run a marathon? Should I start training? How should I train? Am I training enough? Am I crazy?
In the days that I haven’t been training for a marathon, I have allowed myself to focus on other parts of my life. Namely reading, tutoring and looking for a new opportunity. Oh yeah, and I organized my closets.
The other day I ran and relived parts of the marathon. Unforgettable experience. I’ll never forget my first marathon and all the training leading up to it. I still have to pinch myself to believe I ran a marathon.
I feel like I should be training for something. I have a few marathons in mind for next year. I want to run in May and another in October or November. That’s so far off. So I think I will just sit around, drink beer and get fat. Just kidding.
I’m confident adding strength training will help lift my post-marathon blues. I’m doing really well. Yes, it’s only been a few days. Positive reinforcement, folks. Positive reinforcement.
