Well, I just signed up for the Vancouver Sun Run today. It is going to be held on Sunday, April 20th and that makes it … hmmm … 93 days from today. A little over 13 weeks to go.
My aim is very simple. I am going to attempt to finish the 10K run in 60 minutes. It would not be easy, especially so for someone who had never ever ran competitively. The great news is that my boys, Arkensen (13) and Nanzaro (12) is going to run too!!
Nanzaro had wanted to complete the 10K run in 1 hr 10 minutes. He does not know why that time. For Arkensen, he is aiming to run in 1 hr. He too does not know why 1 hr but he did say “it seems easy”!
For me, the Sun Run is part of the plan to complete the Marathon. Theorectically speaking, if I can finish 10K in 1 hr, I should be able to aim to complete the Marathon in 5 times the time … 5 hrs. It’s good to know but for now, my aim for the Marathon is to complete it in 6hrs. I try to not set too high a goal, lest I end up not achieving anything at all.
I am going to scour the net and put up a sort of a countdown clock to put on this blog.
