By now, most of you know that I am training for my "FIRST" full Marathon. My training has officially begun and tonight I paid my entrance fee for the Mississauga Canon Marathon. Too late to back out now! (I believe that's called commitment through registration.)
I am completing my training through the Running Room and I have just finished/survived my first two weeks of the clinic. This also means I have 16 more weeks to go before the big day. (May 16th - Mother's Day & Lori Stafford's Birthday = 115 days and counting)
So lastnight, I was lying in bed thinking... and no it wasn't "Can I really do this?", it was "Will I ever do this again?" And, to be honest the verdict is still out on that one. But, what I did come to realize was, even if I do, there will never be another "First Marathon" for me. So why not capture this experience in some shape or form. Hence - THE BLOG!
Now I can't guarantee that this blog will be exciting and I don't even know who will want to read it. But I am doing this for me as a way to reflect back and for others to join me along on this journey. I will do my best to stay up to date, I may even attach some routes, tell some stories, add some pictures ... so that you too can meet "THE OTHERS" who are riding the crazy train with me. You may see some stats and hopefully you will see that I am improving or at least doing the distance. But in the end I hope that you will see a final photo of me at the 42km marker at the finish line hugging my family, smiling and upright! (If not, please locate my body and drag it across finish line)
So, this ends my first post. Till next time.
Gotta run!
Meg
