Greetings kidlettes,
Today is Mother's Day in the good ole' U.S. of A., so to my very own wonderful Mama, happiest of days to you! And to all mother's out there, well done!
Tomorrow begins the '09 version of my annual 'training for the Chicago Marathon'. This year's edition has already begun, as I've purchased a new pair of running shoes.
The event is in October, so I have plenty of time to get ready. The issue, as always, is whether or not I stay the course and complete the training necessary. As some of you may recall, I've gone on this adventure many times before, but have yet to actually make it very far (no pun intended).
This time around, I'm going to post my training schedule and write regular updates in the hopes that my 'journaling' and your support will be the extra oomph needed to follow through.
The final four contestants on this season's Biggest Looser television show were surprised with a marathon of their own as the final challenge. All four of them completed the 26.2 miles, some running and finishing in under five hours and some walking the entire distance on old and damaged knees, but finishing none-the-less in a mere 13 hours and change.
Wish me luck!
Tomorrow is day one of training. I'll update you with the results.
