Beyond numbers

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Looking at my numbers, well, I might say that is not that I can precisely say that I feel proud of this year as a runner and there are doubts about my running that I would like to state here.

I understand that long distance is not for everyone. I realized about that reading Lulu's blog, seems like a good choice doing it right before going to the next step. Am I prepared for it?

I like to be there "in the long run" as Scott referees. I will find out again how to get there. I have no clue of how to do it right now. Thinking of a 10 mile run seems pretty scary. I know I like it but am I able to do them again?

I wonder what is the secret to keep all the way up during the year with a fresh Moho and feel full with all the energy required to run all those miles most of you do.

I also think that anyone complains as I do. And I don't mean complaining about spurs. In general I think that my health is not that good as yours for example. My stomach is still giving me some troubles and looking back during the year makes me think that I am not strong as you are. I won't say I am not strong enough since I've already done it before, but has it taken too much from me and my body is not reacting as it should adapting itself to this new stress that will make me grow and instead of that is somehow stepping back getting weaker and weaker against what is expected??????

How many times were you sick during last year?

I was thinking of all this last night when trying to figure out how will I start training for the marathon again. Anyway I feel very engage in this marathon thing and I will attempt and will take this new challenge. I want to enjoy my training and at the same time feel proud of how I do it and do it complete and with quality, which will not exactly mean being fast ;-)

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS for your supportive words, it is incredible to have to say this but is like feeling that you guys will understand what I mean, people that I don't actually know but from the ones I receive so much! Your welcome back words have being so important to be inspired about my running even more.

*My running year hasn't started yet. No miles logged yet. I want to refresh my legs and try to recover my Moho which I will need a lot for the marathon training.
