Today I signed up to run a marathon.
In six months I will be running Sugarloaf.
This time around I will not be running to raise money; this time around I will not be running to raise awareness.
I will be returning to the course of my second fastest marathon…seven years later.
Seven years older.
Though I am technically running because I promised a friend I would pace her to a 3:40 finish, the truth is, I want to know if I can do it.
I want to know if I can run 26.2 miles again.
I want to know if I can run that fast again.
I want to know if I have the strength to train hungry again.
The race takes place in 26 weeks and two days.
26.2 weeks.
Kind of poetic, I think.
