My training is in full swing. Currently my goal is to try to run 15 miles a week in addition to one "long run" a week. The long runs will obviously increase in distance from now until August. So far it is going well, but I decided I need a reward. It is not necessarily that I need motivation to finish but I want a little something to work towards. So I think I am going to get a new cell phone. My contract is up so I have an upgrade available but rather than getting it now I am going to wait until after the race. So I decided that I not only have to finish but I have meet the goal of finishing in under 2 hours. So what do you think? Any other ideas on motivation/reward for finishing under 2 hours?
I like the new cell phone idea. It's a big enough treat that it will keep you motivated without being over the top expensive that you would have to feel any guilt after purchase. In addition to that, it's something you'll use everyday and it will remind you of your tremendous accomplishment. Good luck with the training and with the run. Wish I was in the kind of shape that I could come back and run it with you. Oh well, I'll always have the 2006 Lost Dutchman.
ReplyDeleteYou could totally do it! Maybe we can pick on next year and do it together! I can even come to you if you want!
ReplyDeleteI love your enthusiasm! Never say never, right?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving following this blog. There is always something of interest in each of the things you've posted. Maybe you should keep it going even after your class is finished. Then I can follow you all the way from Phoenix.
