In December of 2022, I was sitting in that bar in NYC, talking to that dude who started talking about running. I was like “no way I can run”. He said “fuck it, just sign up”. I learned about the 9+1 for the first time. And what I noticed was that I wouldn’t be able to run the marathon in 2023, but I could use 2023 to qualify for the 2024 Marathon. And there were some really interesting things about the 2024 date:
- First, it was 2 years away. I liked the idea of a 2 year resolution, instead of a one year resolution.
- Nov 3 2024 was two days before the Election! Which was a very enticing idea.
- Security Now would also get to 999 on November 5 (election day)!
I even wrote down this idea in this blog post:
I want to give some updates on my running and workouts. I am trying to run the NY Marathon in 2024, and I want to mold my body to be able to do that.
(More than 10 years ago): On the other hand, if your FPGA is capable enough, then you may be able to do more. A fat dude will have a lot of trouble completing that marathon. So will a thin dude, but it is easier for the thin dude to program his core and complete that marathon. He doesn’t need to be restricted by his body’s basic metabolic functions.Overarching goal is NY Marathon 2024 . That will require loosing of weight and improving cardiac conditioning.I am so proud of the work I have put in since I started. I have did 257 (in 2023) and 333 (in 2024 so far) so a total of 590 miles so far. It was a great journey. I didn’t accomplish everything on this journey, especially around weight, but I think I learned a lot. And I did see phenomenal changes like my LDL going down.
I am laser focussed on this milestone now. 2 years in the making. I am fucking psyched. Let’s get to this finish line, brother. This is it. Feet, don’t fail me now. After this, we will rest.
