Training for the upcoming Los Angeles marathon just got a little more "accountable" for me. Although I registered for the run last week, that alone doesn't really hold me accountable to actually running it. After all, I could simply decide not to go.
What I did do, however, is pledge to a non-profit organization that I would run for their benefit. (The Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.) Yup, I put it up on my web page and everything. Yup... yup.... (That was a good idea, right?)
Today it rained. ALOT! It was wet and it was cold. And windy. Did I say it was wet and cold?
Today, I was scheduled to run 14 miles on my training program.
Yup, accountability is a good thing. (It is, right?)
