Countdown to Marathon

Well, in a flurry and a rush I signed up for the Disney Marathon (January 2011) last week. I was afraid that I would miss my chance if I didn't do it now and besides, my rear needs to get in gear! I was up to about 4 miles 3 or 4 times a week by last November, but have not been running since. As soon as i signed up, I caught a chest cold! So I have walked 2 days so far - Sunday morning and today (Thursday). That ain't gonna cut it for long! Saturday I will be visiting my sister in Baltimore and we will likely go running. I think I will be better then and get my official training off to a start.

This is my goal for turning 45 on December 30, 2010 - to run my first marathon, the Disney World one at that. Can you think of a more fun place to run? I am psyched! And now I have my new Asics shoes bought on sale at Kohl's last week. Woo hoo, here I go!
