As GF reminded me, after I finished the Marine Corps Marathon I said I'd never run another marathon again. Grete Waitz won NYC Marathon nine times between 1978 to 1988. The first time she ever ran a marathon - NYC in 1978 - she not only won, she set a new world record. Afterwards, she threw her sneakers at her husband, who was the one who encouraged her to run the marathon in the first place, and said "I'm never doing that again!"
Famous last words I can relate to. Afterall, I'm training for my fourth (and hopefully last) marathon. But during my run this morning, I kept thinking of 2012 and how I don't want to have any challenges or goals. I just want to run races that I want to run. And hopefully, they'll have nice shirts to boot!
