Purpose of this blog

I had made a list a long time ago. Way back when I was still in shape, it was a list of things to do before I die. Well running a marathon has always been one of my dreams. Here I will document my 6 month journey of training with pictures that track my progress.

What Marathon am I running? It will be the Detroit Marathon October 21st 2007

Why am I doing this? I am doing it for me, I will turn 30 on October 1 of this year, I have put this off for a really long time lets face it, I am not getting any younger.

This all would not be possible without Patty, I have read her blog for quite some time and she writes about her running and through reading has given me that burn to try this. She will be my team and my support system through this what to me right now seems grueling training. I also have the love and support of a wonderful husband. A husband who when I told about what I wanted to do first laughed (you would have to know me I am BY FAR not a runner) hugged me and wished me luck and told me I can do what ever I set my mind to.

So here we go. There will be laughs there will tears and I am sure lots of bitching and complaining.
