What did I just do??
I received an email today from one of my favorite running stores. They are starting an ambassador program where they will select and feature six runners while they are training for the Hamptons Marathon in September and raising money for a charity of choice.
I applied.
I probably won't be selected, but the fact that I applied is pretty major, considering the fact that I tell anyone who will listen that my marathoning days are over after that one painful day in June 2005. The few times I've attempted to train for a marathon since then, I've always given up after just a few weeks. I see all those miles in my training plan and freak out. Or I miss one workout and think it's no use because I'll never be able to get all the training in.
If they pick me, I will have to go through with it. I will have to conquer 26.2 miles once and for all.

Now... that is a way to be accountable!
I told myself that after this marathon, I am DONE. No more full marathons. I will only do another one if I happen to find someone that will train with me. I always train on my own and it is getting old. It is time to concentrate on triathlons.
BTW - thank you so much for your post. I guess it is good to hear that I am not the only one that is struggling. I guess misery loves company. (shrug)
I also got on the scale tonight too...uggh...been a while for me to hop on that scale. What happened? I had dropped weight but then the last few months, I guess i put it back on. I had felt a little bit heavier but man...I gotta get this off. Sounds like we are both going through the same thing. Wish you were closer. :)
