run #1

Hi. I went on my first run this morning. I felt really good. I don't know how far yet but I ran for a good half hour without stopping. My knees and hips were pretty stiff and sore toward the end but had they not started to hurt I would probably still be running. I guess that means I am in decent cardiovascular shape but my joints have to get used to pounding the pavement again.

Marawhat????

I have always had a goal in my life to run a marathon. I honestly don't think I could run one full mile without stopping at the moment but I plan on making it all the way to 26 in 9 months. I was reading all about how to train, the do's and don'ts etc. One of the things I read was to tell people. That goes against everything in me because if I fail at this I don't want people to know. But here I am. I am going to train for a marathon. Now you know. I am doing this in blog format so that the people who want to know about my progress can check in and those who don't care don't have to hear about it. This will help me to stay motivated. I will continue to report on my progress, ups and downs, and anything else that comes my way. Take care.
