so yesterday Nadine said that Oprah ran a marathon in a pretty decent time. i felt a sense of panic take over. my original goal was to beat puff daddy's time since i learned that he only started training 8 weeks out. i could live with myselft if i dont end up beating puff daddy. however, i dont know if i could say the same thing if i dont beat oprah. i came across an article titled "how oprah ruined the marathon" by making it ok just to stagger across the finish line. I also saw that puff daddy's goal was just to beat oprah. So i've added a goal B to my goal. Goal A is to beat puff daddy. if that aint happening, then i'll be ok just beating oprah. They call this new benchmark "the Oprah Line".
This is a little blurb from the article:
When Oprah expanded the sport, she also lowered the bar for excellence. For the previous generation of marathoners, the goal had been qualifying for Boston. Now, it was beating Oprah. Her time of four hours and 29 minutes -- the Oprah Line -- became the new benchmark for a respectable race. (That was P. Diddy's goal when he ran New York.)
Melissa has the car today so i dont know what i'm going to eat. i usually make an event out of saturday breakfast/lunch/dinner and all the snacks in between. My computer was acting up yesterday which didn't allow me to update the diet part of my blog. thats a good thing because it just ended with more pie and one more burrito and 2 scoops of ben and jerry's.
Workout:
none. sleep. eat. watch a movie maybe
Diet:
nothing yet. hope to eat burritos and something good.
