Hello friends!

I have kept it kind of quiet until the New Year, but it's officially go time and I wanted to share with everyone here:

I'm running a marathon in April!

I've been training since early December and things have been going smoothly. I'm registering as soon as I get paid next week. This will be my first marathon ever. I have always been a runner, but have never pushed myself to this level. I have never done something truly athletic. My goal and motivation behind this race is not for a good time or the glory or losing weight. This is for me to see just how amazing my body can be, putting it to work and testing its potential.

I just wanted to share. Hope everyone is doing well!!

    Congrats!!! I am doing my first half marathon in one month. I'm definitely NOT a runner and it's been amazing to see my progress...9 miles today!!! Best of luck to you.
