I watched everyone get their awards, had my picture taken with my line mates and limped home after last night’s PLS party. I felt let down — probably because it was over and because I’m really tired. I picked up my t-shirt and sticker, threw them in the backseat and limped home.
I had planned on running this morning and even got up at 4. But I went back to bed. My legs overrode my heart. I’ll run a long run tomorrow and will start my off-season training. I have a marathon to prepare for and I’m behind. My schedule this summer has not lent itself to training. And I’m about to start cranking out a children’s book. That’ll keep me very, very busy.
I’ll miss everyone on Monday morning. I’ll be out running somewhere, getting stronger and working on my overall fitness. I plan on running with some of my PLS friends, too, when I’m not running my hill training in the neighborhood. That will be fun.
But today is a day of rest and reflection. I have new goals to set. And I need to see what my fitness regime of the future looks like. A good sea captain always charts his course.
I’m so proud of you Marshall. You did something that tha majority of us don’t have the will and determination to do. I have enjoyed the journey with you through this blog. Blessings to you as you prepare for the marathon and continue with everything God has mapped out for Marshall Ramsey!!
