The Absurdity of It All

If at first an idea isn't absurd there is no hope for it. -- Albert Einstein

There's a lot of truth in that thought.

The first time I ever considered running in any kind of marathon was when one of the podcasters I listen to did so.  He wasn't in any kind of great shape or anything so I figured if he could do it, I probably could.

One day.

Some day.

Of course, at the time I was close to 300 pounds so it certainly wasn't a very achievable goal at the time.  To be quite honest, it was a rather absurd little dream.

Now?  Now it's absolutely doable and I know I will not fail.  And it's the absolute absurdity of the original dream that makes it such a huge and worthwhile goal to me.  That's gonna be the feeling I have on the night of November 10th -- complete and total satisfaction and elation and having achieved this absurd little dream!  

That's gonna be good!!!!
