Last Monday was the 2011 Boston Marathon. Tens of thousands of runners trained day-in and day-out for nearly a year (or more) to be able to take on the extremely intense 26.2 mile race through and around the city of Boston. Tom and I took a trip into the city on Wednesday and the engery radiating from the marathon runners proudly sporting their dark grey and green marathon jackets was incredible.
I am inspired. I will be a 2012 Boston Marathon runner.
This week I am researching and and establishing a training plan. I will have one week short of a complete year to prepare myself mind and body for this undertaking. Starting Monday, April 25th, I will use this blog to track my training, vent my frustrations, voice my concerns, and share my celebrations. My blogs will openly and honestly share the good, the bad, and the ugly in order to hold myself accountable.
Step #1: Reading previous runner's blogs, training logs, and journals to figure out the plan of attack and how to get going.
Monday it begins.
