Today I have taken the leap into the world of the blog. Who doesnt have a blog these days. I have been debating having a blog for a while. Questioning whether I would seem pretentious or nerdy, or perhaps a little of both. And I certainly couldn't decide on a topic that would give me reason to post an update on a regular basis, as well as actually be interesting to other people.
So here I am, giving this whole thing a shot.
My blog is about me, the me that runs. Just running. No puns or quirks or retrospects on politics or philosophies or some other topic that has been re-hashed hundreds of times by thousands of people. I'm just going to be running.
Today is Oct 12th. Its a Wednesday. On Sunday I will be running in my first race ever, the Nationwide 1/2 Marathon. And wow...I am starting to freak out a little, I mean, I started a blog over it. Yikes!!!!!!!! Not only have I never experienced any type of race atmosphere, this is 13.1 miles. Yes, 13.1 miles is actually what I said. Its far. And at this point my goals are just to finish, and in under 3 hours. 3 hours?! All I can think is "who runs for 3 hours? What are you doing?"
And Sunday begins my one year journey to the marathon. Thats my real goal. In one year I am going to run the entire marathon.
And that is what this blog is all about. The training, the eating, the mental, the physical, and everything else that it takes to train for and finally run a marathon.
So get yourself some comfy socks, lace up those sneakers, perhaps even strap on a music device to your upper bicep, and lets run.
(and somewhere along the trail I may just find the me that I have been looking for all this time)
