This is a special year for me... with a renewed life of wishes, hopes and dreams.. I bring forth 50 by 50....
The goal of doing 50 marathons before I turn 50 in December... of course I am still debating on if an Ultra counts as a marathon because its more than a marathon and if I should revise the 50 by 50 to marathons and above. See this makes a difference when you are currently at 35 marathons and 5 ultras.. would that make the need to do 15 marathons in 2015 to get to 50.. or would that make 10 (counting the ultras as marathons)... so lets say we just make sure after we hit 50+ marathons plus ultras to do a few extra to make sure I can truly say 50 marathons by 50 not 50 marathon plus ultras by 50... WTH!??
SO.. you think .. ok.. well thats kinda not too bad.. or maybe you say.. that’s outta your mind crazy.. either case... it’s the goal.. and I plan to enjoy every moment of it.. and I plan to bring my birthday in and say DONE... we have done that... and lets do something else..
First goal is to hopefully get that Boston qualifying time. And then complete my 50 by 50 all sprinkled through 2015.. cant wait for that week where I run 5 marathons in 7 days.. and... oh yeah.. and to run 100 miles in 24 hours but see that would only count as 1 marathon.. or wait one ultra.. so then does that count as a marathon.. EEP! ...make sure you have your goals handy..
Ohh yeah and did I mention the fact that after my personal record setting half marathon that I completed in Naples in January where I could barely walk and remove my own sneakers... how on the way back from the race, my father decides he wants to get his car washed.. and that everyone must exit the vehicle... and whaaaat?
