A package has come in the mail!
What could it be?
The anticipation builds...
Let's pretend my desk isn't messy. I'd like to pretend it was a one-off and it's usually clean, but I'd be lying.
It's the new Fuel Belt I ordered! I'ma rock this bad boy on my every long run once it gets hot out.
MY QUEST TO QUALIFY NOT JUST FOR THE OLYMPIC TRIALS BUT FOR THE 2016 OLYMPICS IN THE MARATHON (to do this I will need to halve my marathon time)
On I went, out of the wood, passing the man leading without knowing I was going to do so. Flip-flap, flip-flap, jog-trot, jog-trot, curnchslap-crunchslap, across the middle of a broad field again, rhythmically running in my greyhound effortless fashion, knowing I had won the race though it wasn't half over, won it if I wanted it, could go on for ten or fifteen or twenty miles if I had to and drop dead at the finish of it, which would be the same, in the end, as living an honest life like the governor wanted me to. -Alan Sillitoe, "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner"
Tracy, thanks for stopping by FCITC today! You are going to rock these marathons! NYC is such a wonderful experience.
