Let's run a marathon!

I am not sure when I made up my mind that even though I found such a passion for running that I could never run a marathon.  26.2 is about my drive to work and I could never imagine running there!  I never considered myself strong enough mentally or physically to take on such a challenge.  But then something changed... I read a book about many different women just like me who started running and fell in love.   Some of the women I read about had many more challenges than I currently have in my life and no matter what, they all achieved their goals~ whether it was a 5K, Half Marathon, whole or even an ultra, they put themselves on the starting line and went for it, believing in themselves and never looking back.

I realized the only reason I couldn't run a marathon is because I didn't think I could.  Only fear was holding me back so I have decided to let go, put myself on the line and take a scary step forward.

I decided to write this blog for me.  To remind me that I am strong when I am feeling weak and to remind me why I am doing this in the first place!

I would love for people to read along, follow and encourage me and maybe get inspired in the process but I am not expecting a large following.  Its running afterall and that is not for everyone

**But for 17 weeks its going to be a very large part of my life and I am ready!!
