Why running marathons is like having a baby

  1. You tend to forget how miserable it was after a while and start wanting to do it again
  2. Practicing is the really fun part

So, I signed up the Rogue SA/NY/Chicago Marathon training group. It's a month into it but I haven't exactly been stuck to my couch since Big Sur. 12 miles tomorrow, hopefully followed by a quick dip in ye olde springs of barton. Good times.

I've been experimenting with one of the suggestions in here . Specifically the one about making a visual progress calendar with flickr. Here it is . I think it's cool. I'm going to put a picture in on the days when I do "good" and by that I mean do my workout and not eat like a pig. It already helped me today on the third day. I very well might have gone to Mike's pub for a burger for lunch instead of going to yoga. Yay me.
