As you know, the Freight Train 50K was moved from December to May because of the weather. Seriously. Who wants to run 32 miles on ice? I think May will be the perfect month to do a 50K. There's no turning back now. I figure if I slowly up my weekly mileage without upping my speed or frequency, I should be okay. You know, I'm all about the 10 percent rule nowadays. I just couldn't resist doing 10 miles at the Tobacco Heritage Trail today.
This is how running has taken over my life. Without even trying or thinking about it, my Christmas has turned into training runs. But it was worth every mile.
One of the greatest feelings in life has to be working toward some goal, giving it your all, feeling the pain, but persevering and eventually reaching your goal. When I finished my run today, it truly felt like a celebration. One last note. Yesterday I had my annual physical and the doc tells me I am AOK to pursue my summer goals of climbing the alps and surfing in Hawaii again.

What, if anything, are you currently doing to make your life exactly what you want it to be right now? Make the life you want happen. This means being very selective about the people you spend time with, the emails you answer, how you talk to people you love, and where you are investing your limited mental, physical, and spiritual energies. Be very careful about your choices in life. Make each one count. I'm going to try to.
Have a great Lord's Day tomorrow!
