Some Post Marathon Monday Thoughts

So I am still trying to figure out this blog thing. I guess like most things it is what you make of it but really its about how much you wanna let people into who you are what makes you tick. You have to make a choice of weather or not you want to just report just the facts or add the emotion and personality behind them. Something that I think needs to be tested and refined. The fact is that I have no idea who is reading this, it could be one of my close friends, someone from the past, someone who was just board so they surfed around facebook, a possible employer or anyone else. Knowing that I have to decide what level of myself I am comfortable with. I have only made a few posts on here but I have gone back and edited them if I didn’t like the phrasing or if upon a second read I feel like it didn’t come across as I intended. Not sure if that means something or not. But I am sure time will tell.

So I guess the reason I was thinking about this is because I had some day after thoughts from the marathon and I thought I should write them on here. I mean the reason I decided to do a blog was to make it real, make me accountable in a sense, and to have a record of my 1001 days, and if I am going to do that I might as well start from the beginning.

If nothing else running the marathon reaffirmed my belief that I can do anything I put my mind to. I don’t think I have challenged myself to something that took that kind of dedication since wrestling in high school. It was nice to see that I was still up to the task. Through the years I have always assumed that the most important week of doing anything is the first week. My first Friday I was supposed to run a mile but we were going to the Burins game for Pats birthday so I didn’t have much time to get in the run but I went out and got it done. As little or insignificant as that seems for me, that is the most important thing. If you are going to do something you need to drive right in, as it says on the dry erase above my toilet “Go Big or Go Home”. That is what I did with the marathon and what I am attempting to do with this post.
