I decided to run a marathon last week. My first marathon in my life. Sure, I’ve run a lot of shorter distance road races and my first half marathon last year, but I’ve never run a marathon. I decided it was on my “bucket list” and if so, I’d better get on the stick. So, on my morning run today, I thought: what better way to seal my committment to my training plan than to start blogging about my goal? That way, I’m publicizing my goal- to run this thing- and maybe that’ll be a bit of gentle ( if not more) pressure to stay on track!

So, a wonderful friend of mine recently started a blog ( see omgal.blogspot.com) and she inspired me to do the same.

Consider this my first post of hopefully many to come!
