I guess everybody and their brother is blogging, so I should join in the act.
Another reason would be to celebrate today(March 7th). Exactly 4 years ago today, I decided to start running. It was the ugliest 1/2 mile you have ever seen. I joked that I should have been smoking , so I would have an excuse. Its amazing how quickly the running drug takes over.
Now, 4 years later..I am in the best shape of my life. I am 37 and I have great abs(Ha Ha!!). I have ran 8 marathons and have taken the plunge into the world of triathlons. I guess you could say I have jumped into the deepend in with that one. Attempting my 1st half Ironman in September. Depending on how that one goes, shooting for a full Ironman in 2009.
It has been recently that I have decided to tackle running a marathon in all 50 states, plus DC. I thought what better way to chronicle my journey in writing my ups and downs in this blog.
People ask...So far, which marathon is your favorite out of the 8 you have done so far(Florida, California, Arizona, D.C., Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland)? Easiest question you can ever ask me. The Big Sur Marathon in Monterey, CA. Its a Zen experience, its a 'check off your list before you die' kind of marathon. Where else can you start off in the Redwood forest and run along the Pacific Coast Highway looking at the Pacific Ocean for 20+ miles. Unbelievable.
Hey...Look at me..I blogged...haha
