It’s 9 am on Saturday and I am still in my pyjamas, sitting on the couch with my laptop and a cup of coffee. I need to go shower and pack as I am leaving for Portland in less than an hour. Yep, tomorrow is the day: Portland Marathon.
Tomorrow marks one day since I ran my first marathon. In the past 12 months, I will have run 3 marathons, a half marathon, done my first open water 1/2 mile swim race and my first and second triathlons. Almost all of those races were actually done in the past 3 months.
L and I have set a goal to run the marathon tomorrow in under 4 hours. A goal that is more than likely impossible at this point but one that we are going to shoot for. I’m going to give my Blackberry to my fantastic friend, Debie, who may live Tweet updates on the race from my Twitter account.
Regardless of whether or not we are able to finish in under 4 hours, the whole thing will be over in less than 27 hours from now. Here’s to shooting for impossible goals!
