Journal Journal: Why am I doing this?
For my own personal perusal, when the dark and the rain makes the whole experience utterly miserable, here are the reasons why I'm determined to enjoy this marathon more than the others (not that they were, bad; or at least not in retrospect):
- My base level is higher. I'm quicker over one mile, and seven miles, so training will take less time/be more productive. Thats the theory.
- I've started training earlier (over a month earlier).
- Motivation to train. Lose weight, do a-lotta-great-work-for-charidee.
- Organised sessions, including a long run, three times a week.
- Its supposed to be fun, goddamn it.
Later: Yowsers, that last run was a beaut! Good pace, strong finish. If only they were all that good
