Well the decision has been made, and as long as the race directors are ok with it, I will be toeing the start line October 5th as planned.  Only not for the 10 mile as i had previously planned, but for a race I once again swore id never run.  a fall 2008 marathon.  It should be a great race, and I want to be part of it. The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. so many miles full of day dreams now lie before me. 

After the Olympic Trials i was determined not to run another marathon until 2009.  Now that I am healthy and enjoying the process again, I want to give sub 2:40 another shot.  As I headed out the door this morning, I felt a sense of comfort in the decision, and felt eager to train with such vigor once again. 

Ive been putting in the miles, but for a long time (until the first week of july), I was doing it because that is what I do, not because I was loving it.  Fortunatley i knew that one day i would love it again, and when that day came i would be somewhat in shape! haha.  From here it is a fine line that must be run, with passion, dedication, and awe inspired fear.  26.2 miles will always be stronger than I will be, it deserves respect, and without it we are left bruised and broken.  laying my heart out at the mercy of the roads once again, I beg the question with every step, how do i get there from here?
