I didn't set out to become a runner, to gauge my time, or to improve my mile.
Shit, I didn't set out to run 20...I thought it was 13, and that Ive already made...so all of this is amazing. And if I think I need new goals at this point, that's great, whatever, but it's still all about:

Holy Shit I Am Doing This!

...and I have to do it my way.

So, I will do my best with speed training, and I'm sure I will have some awesome, difficult moments that I will let you in on and we can laugh at me together. But I'm not going to get down on my 'time'. Because every damn moment of this trip is momentous and incredible and stupendous and new.
