Sometimes I make decisions and then the next day/week/month when I stop and think about it, I ask “What the hey was I thinking?” For example, willingly signing up and even paying to run 13.1 miles. Yeah. Don’t know what I was thinking either. But when I’m with friends, we laugh, tell stories, dream big dreams and sign up for half marathons. It’s a very natural progression.
All that to say, on February 14th, 2010 I will attempt to run the most I have ever run at one time in my entire existence. I’m pretty sure my knees hate me right now as I train and my lateral collateral ligament might strangle me in the middle of the night. Thank you WebMD for assuring me that if I don’t have a doctor place a fiber optic telescope in my knee to find the problem, it might self combust. Alright, that may have been edging towards melodramatic, but whenever I try and diagnose myself using the world wide web, I somehow manage to conclude that I have some insane and rare illness that all started with a paper cut.
So, if you have any advice for a first time marathoner, please - the comment section is begging to be your friend! Like really, please…I have to get up to 10.1 more miles. In less than two months. Party!!!
