Yep. Another one.

This day is perfect for blogs. This one will be shorter, maybe.

So I have two and a half hours left of work, and I realized: that's about how long I will be running 18 days from now, if I'm lucky I know that I talk about running a lot and a lot of you might think that I'm a good runner and have a lot of endurance but the truth is... I don't. HA. I am a natural sprinter, I have always had a hard time with distance running. But this is something I've wanted to do since high school. Just once. I always set high standards and big goals and then I let myself down. I'm ready to break that cycle, and I figured this was a great way to do it.

It's so friggin' hard though.

I say I'm a natural sprinter, however since I have doing nothing but long distances my fast-twitch muscles are not working, haha. I am SLOW. So now, not only do I have no endurance- but I'm slow too.

It's ok. Because once this marathon business is done I'm going to just stick to the 5ks and maybe some 10ks. I realize that I really love 5ks. They are short and sweet and speed work is important.

Plus, believe it or not, from what I've been reading- apparently shorter (but much faster) distances are a more efficient way of losing weight. It makes sense to me I suppose.

P.S. after 3 months of solid training, I still haven't lost any weight.

P.P.S. I think I look a little better though.

P.P.P.S. yes, I know I might not look like I need to lose weight but I am "technically" over weight for my height/ age.

P.P.P.P.S. I AM depressed about it. It bothers me.
