SO.
Running.

It’s basically my personality now, so of course I’ve already looked up if I can register for next year’s Calgary Marathon.

When I was reading about the ultra marathon earlier this year, I saw that the ultra marathon distance (50k) was being retired this year (I mentioned this a few days ago). That sucked, since I was going to make it my goal for next year.

HOWEVER.

Next year will be the 60th anniversary of the Calgary Marathon, and they’ve added a special 60k ultra marathon for next year only.

So THAT is going to be my goal.

60 kilometers is approximately 37 miles, which is quite a big step up from 26.2 miles. But if I approach it the same way I approached training for the marathon this year (26.2 miles is about 10 miles more than my typical run distance, so I just needed to add 10 miles to my usual run), maybe I can psych myself up for it.

It’s all much more mental than physical, anyway.

LET’S DO IT!
