With races canceled or postponed, I've been failing to run or train. But I need to run, it's my outlet, my sanity.
I decided to be a little crazy and registered for the BURCs Virtual Marathon. I was trained up for around 15 or so miles before I stopped, so I guess you could I've tapered.
With the way the city has semi-closed down, I've been trying to sort out the logistics. I don't want to go for a long run around town and need a bathroom, since no places will be open and I doubt the city is putting out portojohns at the parks.
Then I thought, would it be ridiculous, fun and possibly entertaining to others if I run the entire marathon in the ~0.2 mile loop in my parking lot. Around 131 loops. I could tweet and fb Live updates. I expect to walk the last 6-10 miles. Plus this gives me easy access to a safe bathroom and my food. I have 36 hours to finish the race, so I could even take a nap.
Maybe this is the thing I need to re-energize. Mt Washington is still a go and I need to start training for that.
Boston training starts again May 21st.
I have until April 20th. I'm looking at the weather and hoping for a nicer day.
