I like to say that I am my own elite athlete. I don't win prize purses or have any sponsors splattered all over myself. I definately don't have the Kenyan's stride. I'm not even all that fast. But there is something about being able to run long distances that is addicting. It is empowering. It's a lifetime's process of discovering the potential within. Even if I'm not winning any races, or even my age division for that matter, I have the spirit of an elite endurence athlete. I will become that Kenyan deep down inside.
I started this blog because recently I have a new-found passion for running. It had been lost for a little while. I think I just needed to get past the Salt Lake City Marathon so I could focus on the rest of my running season. I have motivation now. I actually want to get out on the streets every day.
Yesterday I found out that I had gotten into the St George Marathon. This is my second chance for Boston. I am taking it seriously. I want to bring my running to a whole new level. And maybe by tracking my progress here on this site, I can do just that. I hope to not take anything away from my running log at home. This is merely a supplement; the lyrical voice of miles, times, and journeys. A place to more fully express my relationship with running and endurence sports in general.
Come back from time to time to see my progress. It's a long road to greatness, but it's worth it.
Destination: Boston 2006
