It begins with a dream...

I have a dream.
I want to come in first in each of the following distances:

• 5k 
• 10k 
• Half Marathon 
• Marathon

 I have accomplished the first of the two goals above (5k and 10k), but the last 2 remain to be an enigma.
I know I'll never win the Boston Marathon or even the Vancouver Marathon, but the question is ... do I have a chance at a smaller marathon?

One of the smallest marathons I ever raced was the Edge to Edge in 2001.

It was a small but very cozy race.  I really enjoyed it ... the cozy feeling brought
out my spirit to be a better runner.
The question now is ... can this be a marathon I can win??
One way to find out - and that's to run this race.

There, I wrote it.  I'm going for the new course record in  2014.  New course for 2014 and my new goal for 2014.
Bring it on!!!

Today's long run was good.
I ran with Melissa for 2hours.  Gorgeous day for Dec.
I have no idea how far we went, but it doesn't matter.   We both put in 2 solid hours of undulating hills and paid homage to the highest point in Vancouver (QE Park).  No injuries and no swearing.
Good run ... although Melissa did put in some bad behavior near the end of the run - I swear she was clocking 7:30min/miles at the end!!  Any faster and she would have been dragging me along the asphalt.  Good job Melissa.
