In 2010, I did the learn to run program outlined by Run for Life. It was great. I did the work by myself. I had a huge sense of accomplishment. I capped it off by running with a friend in the 5km at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
I’ve always loved watching marathons. The people’s determination and huge sense of accomplishment are visceral, and incredible. You get a high just watching them. Sometime I’d like to participate. But, I know that it took them years of hard work to get there. So, this year, I’d like to work up to a comfortable 10km. Then, perhaps, in 2012, I can work toward a half marathon. That is a longterm vision. In the meantime, I’m excited about the prospect of running a 10km.
