i need to be forest gump

okay so i know only about 2 people read this. and that's fine, actually i kinda like it. then i know i can really go off on some things and not worry about affending anyone. anyway... so as you can see from the picture above i'm going to try the impossible again. well last time i got into the training i wanna say over a month. and that's why i "blogged" about it. but then had to put it on the back burner cause of my lame job. again... become unemployed!!! life has never been so good! haha. so anyway i can't have the excuse of, "oh work got insanely busy and i had to start living there". nope. that will not be coming out of my mouth. and this will be good cause it's a goal. its an obtainable goal, only a 4 month training (16 week) training schedule. totally do-able! and i like to run. and in hawaii??? um, hello. they call it paradise for a reason. so i guess this means i'm gunna stick around and not come back in september. which is kinda amazing cause the realization of being at home has hit me this weekend, and i'm not gunna lie... it kinda sucks, big time. not actually being here, but the fact that i'm almost 30 with no job prospects, or direction and i'm just going to be vacationing for the next little while... well i sound like someone i can't stand. those idiots that don't do anything with there lives. haha, losers. and it is becoming apparent that i'm becoming one of them. yikes. so... a marathon is something to talk about. i wont feel like such a loser if i have that going for me. haha.

so anyway, to the 2 people that read this (i'm just assuming it's marie, and sabrina) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE (!!!!!!) get on my case about this. i need you to bug me about this. ha. cause if i feel that i'm dissapointing someone then i think i might just actually do this. lets see, i've attempted... the st. george, the slc, the logan marathon, nyc (3x), the london, and the san diego. i've been trying since i was 17. have i completed any of them?? um, nope! but i can say that i got so dang close to the slc. 3 weeks away but couldn't run cause my body was mangled up. with shin splits everywhere, fractures in hips, feet, you name it-i had it. but this time will be different. i'll pull through. i'm run through the pain. one of my old roommates did this back in '04 and she told me that it'll change your life. you wont look at things the same. so that's what i'm hoping for. cause i've got the downtime. so no excuses. training starts on monday august 24.
