18 and optimistic


i wish i had time to blog yesterday. i was feeling really good after yesterday's run. of course i felt nauseated and slept for an hour. after that i felt great. i had a wedding to get to and i felt a sense of accomplishment throughout the evening. i was kind of glad that both events were behind me. now i have a little time to exhale. no thoughts about a run today because today is my only official off day. i am amazed with how much of running is subjective. it's usually how we are feeling about the run and not the run itself. yesterday took effort for a longer time than my previous run and yet it was smooth and controlled. i understood what to do and did it. i am tabling the boston issue until the day of the marathon. i don't want to do all these great things and end up feeling badly. if i qualify, which is not likely, but is possible, then i'll be exhilarated. in any case i want to celebrate the event without disappointment and with bragging (humbly) rights that come with training. remember life is a road race; run the good race faithfully.
