slightly dissapointed

for the first time ever in my life i started training for a marathon with a date in mind and i didn't do it.

i had my heart set on doing the vancouver marathon last sunday. the short answer for why i didn't do it: i was in alaska on business. but like most things, there is more to it than that.

i took a job last october as the vp of sales and marketing for an upstart aircraft financing company. i have found it extremely difficult finding the time to train. this is coming from someone that has run 11 marathons, so maybe, unfairly, i have been cutting myself more slack than i deserve.

i plan on doing the tofino marathon, which is held the second sunday in june. despite a 3h workout in the the gym today on cardio machines, i'm not sure if i'm going to be ready.

it will be my brother's first marathon... i'm going to run the race with him side by side.
