For those of you who didn't know, I am training for a marathon. Yes, a marathon, you read that correctly. For those of you who know me well, you're probably thinking... WHAT?!? It is true that I am not known for my athleticism. More like known for being just plain lazy.
Well, I am at that great age of 30. For me, it has brought thoughts of being healthier. Taking better care of my body. I have friends who have done the same training program as I am, and they say it is great. So I thought I'd look into it. I went to an information meeting, and just got hooked. The one line I remember most was from a video they showed us, where a coach's voice is in the background saying, 'the first mile is always the hardest. Just remember that whatever pain you are feeling, the people we are running for are dealing with much worse.' That really got to me.
And the great thing about this organization is that they train you to run and in turn, you raise money for such a worthy cause...
So, I'm going to do it. I'm going to try my hardest, and use the people I'm raising money for as inspiration.
I will keep everyone updated. This should be interesting...
