Another marathon?

I hope yes!

When I watched those finishers in the Victoria Marathon the other weekend, (especially the top three Vfac men! Wow!) I was inspired.

Setting a marathon as a goal, then executing the training program and race has got to be the most fulfilling endeavour I have ever done ... and I've only ever done it three times!

I've been saying that I want to run another marathon for almost three years now, but with injury it just hasn't been possible.

However, things are feeling better lately, (holy cow, I've said that just a few times before!) I've started a new strengthening "program" (if you can call doing strengthening exercises and yoga in your living a program), which seems to be having some benefit.

I've been able to run 90min, with no issues. And whopping 3-4 runs a week! It's been tough with Pearl, but I am figuring it out. Very early mornings are the only option and longer on the weekends.

[Sidenote: I have also taken up commuting to work a couple times a week! I thought I would never be a commuter, but since having a little puppy, I've had to take up any opportunity for exercise possible!]

So back to my marathon, I have set a goal in my head, and so now when I write it down, it will be even more real: Vancouver marathon 2:55 (or under...of course!).

It wasn't too too long ago that I ran a couple marathons under and just over 3 hours ... so we'll see.

I'm looking forward to the training-trip!
