Over the last couple of months, I felt freed by my expectations when giving my body an unlimited amount of time to train for somewhat lofty and time consuming goals. Running has now become a part of my life everyday, similar to brushing my teeth or showering. I have a ton of goals, most of which involve faster times. But at the same time, I want to be able to balance these goals with other areas of my life, such as my future career as a therapist. I still want to qualify for the Boston Marathon, but I'm in no rush to do so, especially given that I am injury prone when running higher mileage. For me, every run is a step towards improvement. I want to get faster because it is fun to challenge the limits of my body. With this new focus, I know that I'm headed in the right direction.
