I am sick and cranky. I have not run enough and my marathon is 46 days away. So here is a list of things that annoy me;
People walking on treadmills (I am happy for them but you have to understand the indoor track is vicious on knees with those sharp turns)
People walking in rows on the indoor track.
The weather. It is 20 degrees outside
Myself. I have not invested the in the proper outdoor equipment, which is why I have to run inside and am annoyed at all those walkers.
Me being sick
Ok now that that is off my chest. I really do love walkers, good for them getting out there! I am just a cranky pants today.
I am going to change my routine and hit the gym at 6:45 two days a week for a morning 10k. I need some inspiration.
So I tracked out all my runs for the next 7 weeks up to race day (THANK YOU Runner’s World). So here is my renewed commitment to running.
I am going to hit 250 miles in that time.
I am going to remember EVERY single morning the words of Peter Maher “Running is a big question mark that’s there each and every day. It asks you, ‘Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?’” And I am strong today.
I am not a quitter….not true… I have always been a quitter. Running made me a finisher, I am not going to let running down.
I am running this marathon to prove something to myself. I am not going to prove that I cant do it.
I will remember what Dick Beardsley said “When you cross that finish line no matter how slow or how fast it will change your life forever.”
