I’m really disappointed today.  A year ago today I ran my very first marathon. At almost 6 hours, it was one of the best experiences of my life. What a rewarding day!

I am so sad that I couldn’t live up to my expectation of being able to run it again this year, faster, stronger and better than last. Over the last year I let my running life go. That obviously is the reason that I started this blog: to keep myself on track. I had a great 2010, one of the best years of my life! I am so thankful for everything I accomplished and all the good that came into my life. I am not gonna let this sour too much though. I have to Keep Moving Forward and go on to the next challenge. I got a good dose of motivation today, and I took it with me on a 3 mile run.

See, what i’ve come to learn as a runner is that it is only a competition with myself. The rest of the world fades away and it is just me against myself… I am going to be an incredible athlete in the sport of running. I just have to take it one day at a time….

Keep Moving Forward!
