This ish is about to get serious

Its crazy to me that I ran 12 miles last week and 11 miles before, and now the REAL training is about to begin. Holy sh*t.

This weekend I'm planning to run 14 miles, which is the farthest I've ever run before. 

Dramatic comments aside, I'm actually feeling pretty good. Besides a few moments where I wonder why the heck I am doing this, I think that for the most part I've enjoyed training so far. 

My motivation is based on working towards getting stronger and staying healthy for the race. I hope to be able to run the whole thing, ideally in less than 10:00min/miles, maybe around 9:30. 

That said, I just wanna finish a marathon and have fun. I am already feeling like this is the only one I will ever do, but I guess talk to me October 14th and we will see if that changes.

I think I'm doing this for the right reasons, for a new and challenging life experience and so far, the motivation it is giving me is working quite well. 

I'm sure October 13th will be here before I know it!
