post numero uno

I'm pretty sure that i've hit "a wall" if not "the wall" in my training. this imaginary wall refers to when your feet feel like they are made of lead and your lungs feel like they are the size of a pea. but apparently its all mental and has nothing to do with the fact that after running 14 miles, one might actually be tired.
So, I've resorted to reading a lot of on-line marathon coaching pages as well as 2 books on marathon training in order to figure out what happened to my full-proof plan to run further and/or faster every week.
Most of these coaches believe in keeping track of training obstacles and a bunch of them recommended blogging as a way to just get out the frustrations that are hard to avoid during months of training. This is what i call "internet therapy" and it's much cheaper than actually getting a running coach to yell motivational things at me.
i've never been one of those people who kept an online diary or live-journal or xanga, or any of those things, so ... this has a lot of awkward potential.
