Woman, edit thyself!!!
You can’t even believe the long rambling monster post I’ve been composing! This is the problem with only having snippets of time (and energy) to sit at the computer. A thought gets started one day but not finished, so it’s saved. Then it gets re-read another day, and modified, and then added to – but not finished. Same the next day. And etc. And etc. In the end, it is a meandering journey through a land of questionably pertinent information leading you to a potentially, but certainly not guarenteed, poignant destination. Who knows, it may be freakin’ brilliant – I might be the Faulkner of the running blog world! Or I might just be long winded run on sentences get to the point dammit me! Anyway, about 10 minutes ago, I had gone so deep into it that even I couldn’t retrace the steps back to my original point, so I’ll just strip it down to it’s essence.
I’m gonna run a marathon.
Thinking it, saying it, posting it is very weird. A year ago, not only would I certainly not consider myself capable of that distance, but it was entirely unappealing to me. When Dianna ran her first marathon I was totally cheering but I was also thinking man that’s crazy shit, it doesn’t make any sense. That initial assessement may still be correct. Nonetheless, here I am. Now what?
