Training for the marathon was a BIG project. It was 3-4 months of work and it kept me very focused on a goal.

As the time goes by you start to forget about how the marathon training impacts you. It gives you structure. You feel great. You feel disciplined.

Well, it's been a week since I finished the marathon, and it's weird to not have that marathon hanging over my head. Sometimes my brain feels a bit foggy, and I remember it's probably because I'm not exercising.

Finally, today, I went on a short jog.

I need a new fitness goal.

While I have a half marathon coming up in two months, I don't plan to take that one too seriously - also who knows if that one will even happen because of COVID-19. I will also run a marathon later in the year and try to break 3:30.

But, anyways, back to my new goal.

By the end of the month, I want to run a 6-minute mile.

It's not that crazy of a goal, but I've never done it before, or really ever tested my mile time.

I just went to the track to see how it would feel to run a lap in 1 minute and 30 seconds - it felt really fast. I'll report back in two weeks!
