You would think I'd have given up after 1, maybe 2 marathons. You definitley would have thought I'd give up after 3, since my first 3 marathons were all over the 6 hour mark. I don't know what kept me going. Maybe it was my determination, ego, or whatnot, but I kept going. 4 and 5 were both in the 4 hour range, and now I'm on to #6. To me, it even sounds CRAZY! But again, I think you do have to be crazy to run a marathon. I take pride in that title though. It's an endurance event, that less than .1% of the population ever completes, and now, I am definitely part of that crazy, small percentage. March 6, I will run the Napa Valley Marathon, and get the enjoyment of a glass of wine at the finish line :) Though, not sure if that will be what my body craves after 26.2, the thought of it sounds fun.
So, if you've ever thought about running a marathon, but you're holding back because, well, simply you think you're too slow, then STOP YOUR THINKING! You will improve, so long as you don't give up! Who cares how fast you go, just finish and reach your goal!
