In Training

One of my frat brothers talked me into doing a marathon with him early next year. I really had to sit back and think on it, but a few points came to mind and made me decide to commit to it: (1) My mom ran a marathon in 2004 when she was 41, (2) I am not getting any younger, (3) Its a great way to lose this weight I've been trying to get off. As it stands I am at 265.8 and I want to be down to 240 by the end of the year.

As of now I am able to run 2 miles, which is a small fraction of the total 26.2 of the actual marathon. I am just happy to be training for it. What an accomplishment to have, marathon runner! I'll be keeping you guys updated on my progress on here and on twitter.
