If you haven’t guessed it by now I’m training for the marathon coming up in January. Never in a lifetime would I have ever thought of taking on such a challenge. At first I considered a half marathon. I took that on last weekend with no problem. It wasn’t any kind of marathon or race, just a day at Memorial park. So I asked myself: “Why not run a full marathon?” The thought of it now gives me butterflies in my stomach. I’m registered and I’m doing it. No backing out now. I’m in training. This is not only a physical challenge but I’ve come to realize its a mental challenge as well. I’ve got less then 8 weeks to get my body and mind prepared to be taxed like never before.
