Yep, I decided to train for a marathon. well, not really.
i am actually going to start training for the reading of a 26.2 page book on "the idiots guide to running a marathon".
I am going to start reading 1 page a day for a week. Then the second week I am going to move and read the first two pages. I will read these two pages for one week. The third week I will add the 3rd page. I don't want to push myself too much, so i will take a day off somewhere in there. I haven't done much serious reading in awhile, so I don't want to hurt my eyes or brain or anything. Need to move on very carefully. I will probably see a doctor and get a physical at this point, just to make sure I am not going to hurt myself.
Anyway, I will add a page a week for about 20 weeks. At this point I will be close to understanding marathons. Everything in me will want to quit reading about marathons, but I know this is just "the wall". Must read through this! Will be tempted to get "book on tape", but can't give in!
Week 21 I will scale back a bit and reread the first 20 pages every day. Then I will add the 21st page the following week.
Week 23 I will add the 22nd page every day that week. Week 24 I will go hard and try to read pages 23 and 24 everyday. This will be tough. But Reading this Idiot's Guide for Marathons is a tough thing. It's not for wimps. Come hard or don't come at all! You have to be committed or else!
Week 25 I will take some time off and reflect on my training and think about the reasons for this madness.
Then on week 26 I will be ready to complete my reading. I hope to read all 26.2 pages in less than 4 days. That would be a good time.
Then after this I will be ready for Boston!
