So it's real now, I've laid out the money and registered for my guaranteed entry into the NYC Marathon, there is no going back. I could have waited a bit to register but wanted to get it over with so no fear or panic would keep me from doing so. For the record, I registered an hour and a half after reg opened so technically I did wait a bit.
I'm excited about this and what it means for me. I recently pulled out of the Miami Half because I just wasn't able to get the training in due to too much holiday reveling and cold weather. I know that if I really wanted to run this race I could have slogged my way through it, but I didn't want to do this race just for the sake of doing it and I didn't want risk injury. While I'm bummed because I love the city of Miami a lot, I need to be smart in regards to my goals for the spring and summer.
I did get accepted into the NYC Half Marathon and my training has already begun for that. It was difficult at first to get back into the swing of training consistently. Even my short runs felt sluggish and I really thought I was shaped like a piece of pie on a couple of them. But things started to click this past week. I'm getting used to running in complete darkness with the help of my teeny tiny flashlight and taillight. Feeling confident with running in the dark has let me concentrate on the actual running part and I feel stronger than I have in a long time. This week, I can start pushing my pace and really focus on my goals for 2010.
Now you'll just have to deal with me obsessing about running even more!
