I have had a goal for several years to run a marathon. Even a half marathon would be great and I would consider that an accomplished goal. Each year I have had plenty of excuses that have kept me from this goal. Some have been legitimate, like when I had a sinus infection for months that turned into pneumonia that resulted in deviated septum surgery. Some have been far less legitimate, like when I didn't have anything cute to wear to go running. This year I am turning 30 and I really don't want to hit that milestone without being well on my way to achieving this goal.
So, I dusted off my copy of Marathon Running for Dummies and started reading. I must say that was a little intimidating. Maybe I should have just started with running around the block a few times instead of reading about every possible injury that I could get running over 26 miles.
I definitely didn't want to list this goal as a New Year's Resolution - it seemed too cliche! But now that it's February I figure it is okay to put it out there. Now I just need to get some running shoes and find the time to actually run. I will keep you posted on my progress. So far, my progress is... reading that book!
