One of my goals: Run a marathon before I'm 40.
Coming up on Sunday, October 19th, I will run my first marathon - the Duke City Marathon here in Albuquerque. The only goal that day: to finish (before 1:30 since I have a massage scheduled for 2 pm).
My very first race was a 5K at the Duke City events four years ago on October 24th - and it was excrutiating and exhilirating at the same time.
Since then, I have run six official 5K, three official 10K, the La Luz Trail Run twice, and three Half Marathons (all in Albuquerque).
Of course in training, I have run those distances many times and I improve my time most of the time.
I'll decide next week, or maybe later, if I will run another marathon, but for now... I'll be ok with sticking to the half marathons with most of the runners in the U.S.
Live by example.
Oh yes, and I just turned 39 two weeks ago...
