I learned this evening my number was picked. I'll be running the Marine Corps Marathon on October 30th of this year, training permitting. My brothers Chris and Ron entered also, but neither had their names selected, so I'll be running solo.
It's also the beginning of a new quarter. Looking back on the first three months of the year, the goals set were not achieved because they were not made a priority. I tell the kids that life is nothing but a series of habits and experiences, so make your habits intentional and your experiences amazing. The habit of health didn't stick in the first quarter, but now there's a new mission. There's a new motive. And there's a new energy around maintaining consistency. EVERYTHING BEGINS physically. I've always believed fitness and nutrition are foundation elements for anything successful. Now it's time for me to practice what I preach.
Strength and aerobic work will start tomorrow, building the foundation that will carry me through a summer of long runs in the heat of the Florida summer. As I compare now to where I was when I ran Chicago, I've learned SO MUCH about how my body works and what I need to do. Now it's time to do it.
Ready or not, here I come!
