... I crushed it at the 2013 Philadelphia Marathon.
Months of hard work culminated in a PR of 3:03:05. All for one goal: Boston.
A year later, both the confirmation e-mail and postcard have arrived, and we are currently 154 days out from the 2015 Boston Marathon.
But it's kind of weird, if you think about it. All that hard work really only earned me... more hard work. Because the race is in the middle of April, the bulk of my training will be during the long, cold winter months here in New Jersey.
Was running Philly last year merely the prologue, with Boston as the main event? Or was Philly the journey, with Boston as the proverbial icing on the cake, a sweet victory lap?
Yes, I'm excited for Boston, but as the temperature drops and the days get shorter, I can't help but think of the long road ahead of me. One most likely filled with a lot of snow and ice.
I hope y'all follow along, because I know the next few months are going to be interesting.
