29 Weeks and 2 Days To Go...

I have recently displayed just how crazy I might be after all. I have recently registered, and paid for my first marathon! Crazy...yes, however it has been a goal of mine to run a marathon for a long time. My original goal was to run in the Disney Marathon in January. That was going to be my graduation present to myself-a trip to Florida and my first marathon. However, training has not really even been a possibility over the summer months or this fall. So, I have registered for one in May. I am very excited, yet nervous. I knew that if I didn't commit when I was really focused it wouldn't happen for a long time, so I did it! I have a lot of time left to train, and really focus on my marathon. One thing that I am very grateful for, is the fact that my first marathon will be in my hometown and my family and friends will be able to be there to see me finish such a huge milestone in my life. What a great spring and summer it will be! I will be able to cross off one of my life-long goals of running a marathon, but I will also be marrying the man of my dreams! I couldn't ask for anything better!

I have the countdown in my calendar, 29 weeks and 2 days until the marathon!

good for you girl! the rest of the girls that i ran with want to do a marathon. i just don't see that in my future anytime soon. it takes such dedication and committment. so do it now. i would like to run at disney though - and a rock n' roll in san diego. we'll see if i ever get around to them but for now i basque in the light of knowing i've at least accomplished one. hats off to you. you'll do great
