1. It's been a life-long dream
2. I'm becoming a fat slob who subsist on coffee, chocolate, wine and cheese. And I am not exaggerating here.
3. So, I thought having a goal like the Boston Marathon would whip me back into shape.
I really enjoyed thinking these thoughts, but when I actually got word that I would get a number, I thought, "Oh, crap." Wait a second-- I don't want to start training for a marathon!!! Whose idea was this? And then I realized, I really like thinking about things I might possibly do someday, such as become more dedicated to running and run the marathon, write a book, and do more yoga more often. I like thinking about it, talking about it, reading web sites about it. But when it gets down to actually doing it, eek, well that's another issue.
