Getting My Running Game Back

Saw this the other day and it is what inspired me to get my run back on.

Since my marathon, which I ran in 2004, I have been running off and on, but never to the EXTREME like I did the two years leading up to my marathon. After competing p90x and seeing this commercial I decided to get back to the days when the first three miles was just the warm up. As I have been running this last week I have had this intense desire to compete in an ironman. It's that same desire I had when I wanted to do a marathon. I am obsessing over it. I told Jake and he thought I was crazy. I recently watched on youtube a video of our family friend who did the Hawaii's ironman and I am hooked. It's probably just a phase, but that's what I said about wanting to do a marathon. We'll see if I still feel the same way in six months, but it's definitely on mind and was all I thought about during my run today.

So Jake is signed up for a half iron man. Crazy!! I would die. You seriously are doing hard core exercise for a good 6 hours!!!!!!! He is pumped for it though.

That's what made you want to run again? I saw that commercial and thought, "wow that's a nice park, I'd like to have a picnic in that park."
