I have a bit of exciting news to share RE: My Training. Turns out that according to this modern marvel of man called a "calendar", which I am told is used by some people to determine when events are scheduled, that my training doesn't in fact start until Monday the 23rd. That gives me an entire extra week to slack get back into running shape before training begins. How about that! Now, some procrastinator-prone runner types might use this "bonus" week to relax before hitting it hard, but not I. Oh no. I will use this extra week to give Week 1 of training a trial run.
I still need to determine a target completion time/pace for the race. I am currently thinking of trying to hit 4 hours, but common sense tells me to wait until I at least tackle a 10-mile run in training before setting such a bold target. Now I need to know... what does it take to achieve a 4 hour time? Since you asked, it is 9:10. That doesn't sound that bad. From my computer. While I am sitting on my ass. Typing.
I leave you with this final note: The goal for tomorrow is to wake up. If the waking goes well, the running will follow. I will take it easy tomorrow. I am not trying to win a 5K. I am training for a marathon. I am training for a marathon.
