I have officially signed up to be a participant in the 2008 Sarasota Marathon.
Registration Number: 124001
This is an exciting day for me! I could hardly think about what running for 4 hours and 30 minutes is going to feel like....
Training is going well, yesterday I managed the scheduled 7 miles. I can tell a huge difference. It is a great feeling when you can do 5 miles without really even thinking about it. I am shooting for a 12 miler this Sunday. Assuming all goes well this will be almost half of the 26 that awaits me in March.
The more I think about this whole thing the more excited I get. 10 years ago, I never thought that I would be running a marathon. Wow how things change.
Stay tuned, this is going to be a great journey!

Party with Friends!
I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to some of our best friends. It is really nice having a great group of fun people to hang out with.
Last night was a blast, it is too bad that I had to leave early. Can't wait to share some of these interesting photos I took on my phone!
Happy Birthday to all the January Rockstars!
I was good last night, but today's run will still be a little challenging I think :)

Longest Run Yet!
In case you didn't know, I run my long runs on Sundays. It just seems to work out right, and the Gym is rarely full. This allows me to spend the long time needed to get the run in.
Today was scheduled for 8 miles... I started running around noon. I was feeling a little un-easy at the 4 mile mark. But worked through it.
Today was definitely a mile stone for me.
I felt so good at the end that I was able to get in 9.5 Miles! They felt great too! This meant that I spend 1 hour, 31 minutes running solid. I almost couldn't believe it...
I can't wait for this training to come to fruition. I guess it is time to get registered for the race. While I am no speed demon, I am feeling really good about the progress I have been making.
I enjoy sharing, I hope you enjoy reading.
