Background: I ran cross country in high school. I was by far, the slowest member of the team - or at least in the bottom three. Though I was terrible time-wise, I did enjoy the actual act of running. I started running again last summer and am doing so fairly consistently now. I wanted to run in the Bolder Boulder because I like the name and I grew up hearing about it (being in Colorado and going to school in Boulder and all). It never occurred to me to participate in such a race of this sort. Or any race at all. But I have discovered this might be something I would like to do. I would like to try at least. And Boulder is such a lovely city.
Status: I mentioned this goal to my roommate who has run marathons and half marathons. She has suggested I run the ING Edmonton half marathon in August. I am reading up on this (she lent me Galloway’s Marathon – you can do it!) and considering it...which I never thought I would do. It certainly would be good training for the Bolder Boulder next May.
Plan of Action (POA): Assess my motivation. Do some reading and research. Try a longer run next weekend.
