In 30 days I will be toeing the line to run the farthest distance I have ever run in my life - 26.2 miles.
Up to this point, that was all I could think about - crossing the finish line, getting my Tiffany necklace, being able to say, "I am a marathoner."
However, it's more than that, much more. If I complete that distance, kudos to me. But the thing is, I love everything I already am doing. I have love training for it - planning out a training schedule, testing various fuels, dreading long runs, looking forward to long runs, training races with a friend, scribbling on my now wrinkled schedule runs and workouts completed.
I was talking to Martin on the phone earlier, telling him that I was only going to run 10 miles tomorrow. Heh. Never before would I have put "only" and "10 miles" together in the same sentence.
It's the rainbow, kiddies. The pot of gold will be nice, but I am seriously loving this rainbow.
