Because it’s the next step in
the progression. There was a time in
my life, not that long ago actually, that I wouldn't have run across the
street in the rain to avoid oncoming traffic.
And now I want to run 26.2 miles?
It blows my mind to think about it sometimes. But it’s also the next step in the
progression. I have run three 10K races,
and a half-marathon, so the marathon is simply the next logical challenge.
Every time I complete a challenge, I seek a harder one. In the case of running, I either want to run
the race faster or run a longer race. I
have also tried a couple workout programs (p90x and Insanity) were the stretch
goals are embedded in the program. They
are designed for you to push yourself harder every week.
I have truly amazed myself with how far I have come by simply trying to do just a little bit more every day. Trying to gain an inch every day so when I look back I'll be miles ahead.
