Without a challenge, training is mostly a dream, never happens. Even if do happen, low focus, aimless drag. So the solution, find a challenge and work towards it. As anything goes a challenge comes with bucket loads of plans, thoughts, positives, negatives, aims, targets and lucky last excuses. So have to deal with all these as it comes in best possible way. Without getting too phycological get to the point.
Melbourne Marathon. Date is locked in for Sunday, 9 October 2011 and you may find more info @ http://www.melbournemarathon.com.au/. Feels like time is runningout for training and wish it is in 2012. Guess there is one in 2012 as well. So attack for the plan in simple words is run all the way. Can i do it, weeeel who knows until 9th October. So as with any goals, no point going for it without giving a worthy fight.
Hopefully I may not sound biased, Melbourne is I must say the worlds best sport oasis. Run around this beautiful beautiful beautiful place with thousands of other runners would be magical. The course is well designed. Weeeeeel it is the streets of Melbourne sans cars, trucks and accidents. It is funny how there is a large team designing London Marathon Course. They all forgot one of the biggest dreams of any marathoner. The chance of finishing at the olympic stadium and going under the tunnel to get to the stadium. What is my point you may ask. The point is Melbourne Marathon finishes as the world famous Melbourne Cricket Ground. So what more can you ask for. So everybody gets than million dollar chance to go under the tunnel to get to the stadium plus do a lap around it. Now that's happy days.
Cant wait to see that day. Hope I would see the light at the end of the tunnel and come in the MSG with the head held high.
