26 Or Bust!

Last Saturday’s run of 10 miles marked a point in my training I’ve been looking forward to since day one. While it’ll be another week or so until I hit the half-way point of 13.1 miles, the nice round number of 10 is a distance I never before thought I’d achieve. When I finished the run, it was a huge rush to know I’d finally reached that goal, but in the days that followed, the thrill quickly died away. I had promised myself a massage or facial as a treat when I got here, yet now, all I can think of are the next 16.2 miles. Maybe I’ll reserve my pat on the back for after next month’s half marathon in the Bronx. Right now, all I want is to run more and get a few miles closer to the marathon.
