enough of this...

Several weeks ago, sometime during week 14 of this marathon training plan, I remembered something: I don't like marathons. And I hate marathon training. So my quest to run a sub-2:50 is officially over. I'll just have to be happy with that 2:53 from Boston. I will now stick to the races/distances that I like.

I can hear it now: "But the 5K must be so easy for you. Don't you like the challenge of a marathon?"
No. People who feel that way about the 5K don't really know anything about running.

    So does this mean you are bagging Baystate?

    If you never liked marathons, why did you do them?!

    So true about 5Ks. Anyone who thinks a 5K is easy has never actually "run" a 5K. Pure misery.

    Oh, you know... first it was the novelty of it, then it was to qualify for Boston, then it was to run a sub-3:00, then it was to run a sub-2:50. But I get it now :)
