You have to start any goal somewhere. My effort to quality for the Boston Marathon started today. I ran 3 miles on the treadmill in 28:15. Do I have a long ways to go to be ready to run a 3:15 marathon? Yes I do. Does it feel good to get started? Absolutely.
I did not sleep well last night, so the 5:15 alarm seemed awfully early. But there really is no better way to start a day than with a run. I feel great now, ready to face the day.
The run felt mostly good. I chose to run inside because sometimes my need for instant gratification gets in the way and I run to hard outside. I have also had a sore calf the past few months and I wanted to make sure I could stop and stretch it out if I needed to. I had to push a little at the end to keep up the pace, but I can't complain.
Overall it was a good run, a good way to start the day, and I am on my way.
