Life After the Marathon

I took a full week off from running after the marathon even though I don't think I really required that much time to recover considering my slow pace.  However, things have been a little crazy lately so I figured it was a good time for a break.  At first it was nice to have some extra time, but then I started getting alittle depressed that it was over.  What am I training for now?  Just a couple 5Ks, 10Ks, and a 15K.  No major running event to look forward to or to train for anymore.  That is when I decided that one marathon was not good enough for me and that 26.2 miles might not be good enough for me either.  I can't just pat myself on the back and call it a day.  It is time for some new challenges.  So my major goals for 2013 (yes I do plan this far ahead) are (1) run a faster marathon and (2) complete an ultra marathon.
