I have always wanted to be a runner. When I see others running I think to myself,"What a good hobby and escape from the world. I wish I was a runner." After talking to my friend Camille I have decided to attempt to run the St. George Marathon this upcoming October 1st. 26.2 miles is a long way to run. Especially since the longest I have run to date is a 5k. But I just printed off my beginners training schedule from here and I plan on starting my 6 month regimen tomorrow. I am scared to do this. I really, really want to succeed but I am afraid that I will give up. I am an excellent starter but a horrible finisher when it comes to goals. Maybe, just maybe this will help me overcome this nasty shortcoming I have and help me gain a passion for running. So here's to training and ultimately a 26.2 run from yours truly. I just have to remind myself that the joy is in the journey and that the older I get the harder it will be to run that far.
