Hello Again...

Great news...I've actually been training for the Nike Womens Marathon. I know I know...I can hardly believe it either. I made a contract...signed it and put it on my fridge. I have only missed 1 day of running so far from my running schedule. I dont know why I didnt do the dang contract to begin with. :)
I've felt pretty good with my running as well...minus the most painful knee ever. Even with the knee stuff I feel like I am making progress. It feels good to be dedicated and not let outside influences effect weather or not I run...or run well. That may all change tomorrow...but for now I'm doing pretty good.
I have a few goals that I have set for myself for the marathon. One is ONLY walk if I am DYING...i mean litterally DYING...not just hurting. Two is to not exceed a 10 min/mile average. I know that seems pretty weak as a goal...but basically what I am saying is that I want to be in the 9's. I may get a little more specific as I get closer to the race. But my biggest goal of all...my third goal... ENJOY IT!!!! I am getting more and more excited about this everyday and more and more nervous about it as well. I want to be able to enjoy the experience and still want to be able to say when its over that i want to run another marathon. I would love to actually say that i am a "marathon runner". Wouldn't that be nice! Ha ha!
I'll keep all of my dedicated readers out there posted to my progress. I know...it is just facinating to read about :)
Signing off...
