Seems fitting that the day before training for the Chicago Marathon "officially" begins that I received my Official Results book from 2010. I had been waiting on the book for a while and honestly, I had sort of forgotten it was coming.It was cool to look through, I had fun last night flipping through and finding most of my friends' times and reminiscing about how awesome last year was! It was a nice way to close that chapter.
Sometime this weekend most folks who will run the 2011 Bank of America Chicago Marathon will officially begin their training plans. Tomorrow many folks will begin running with CARA, as their 18 week program kicks off! Coach Jen has me down for a 1:15:00 group run, so I'm looking forward to that.
I'm excited about training this summer...I'm also a little anxious. I was both of those things last year. Excited and oblivious of what training in the summer would mean. This year...I know it will be tough.
I've set a hearty goal this year...to run the marathon in under 5 hours. That would be over an hour improvement. I had a friend ask if I really thought I could do that, he thought I was joking. I'm not. I know it won't be easy. I know it will take a lot of hard work. I know I can do it. Last year showed me I can do anything I put my mind to.
If and when I whine or complain this summer, share this link with me (or any other post I've written where I've said that). Big thanks to Steve for sharing it this morning! It's beautiful...
We're 120 days out now. I have these next 4 months to train hard and get ready.
120 days until < 5!
Let's do this!
More later!
