The 2009 Sarasota Marathon is quickly approaching. Lately I have been wavering back and forth attempting to make myself comfortable with the thought that I can again train for this and accomplish the task of beating the time of this year's Marathon.
Deep inside I know I can do it, just knowing that once I clear this mental hurdle I have to buckle down and start the road to fitness once again.
If there is one thing that completing my first Marathon has shown me it is that I can do it. No it isn't easy, but it shouldn't be either. While I am pretty convinced that just about anyone could do it, only a small percentage ever try.
For me it is not about the recognition, but the challenge, the goal, the effort. I get a strange enjoyment from the pain associated with it all.
So today shall be the day, the day of truth, the day that starts it all :) Pain and Joy here I Come!
