I have a 4 year goal to run the NYC marathon. Funny thing is, I know I am going to hate every second of it. (I mostly enjoy my daily runs though.)

Getting to the point where I can complete a marathon is the motivation, TBH. It's something that I believe I can do eventually and I must prove that to myself. It's going to take work and dedication to get there and the journey is what really matters most.
