Now that I have walked several different courses around Milford, unable to find even one that doesn't have me running uphill BOTH ways, I am going to start a petition to have the town renamed.
This morning's walk was beautiful. A little nippy but nice. The wind was incredibly strong but it felt good.
I didn't quite get out by 'marathon time' because everyone's schedules were a little mixed up today. I did manage to get all of my time and mileage in. I would have liked to go a little faster but that will come with time.
My 6-yr-old did tell me I smelled sweaty, thank you very much. At least it means I'm getting a workout! I have to really get my heart rate up to break a sweat.

Having abandoned my attempt at a marathon three years ago due to injury, I am now charging myself with getting back in the running shorts. I'm out of shape, overweight, and very unhappy about it. Watch me change!

Who am I Anyway?
I am a 49-year-old, non-runner who has a crazy notion that I want to run a marathon. Partly spurred on by my sister, I intend to participate in the Detroit Free Press Marathon on October 19, 2008. This will be my chance to do something that I still can't really visualize myself doing, and I'll do it before I turn 50. This blog will chronicle the ups, downs, ins, and outs of my journey from complete physical inactivity to the world of marathoning. Okay, quit laughing.............

Sounds like you are doing great Sister!! Motivation is key. I'm so glad you aren't letting anything keep you from doing what you have set a goal to do. I do believe however that unless you live in western Kansas (where it is completely flat) that you will have a hard time finding anywhere that doesn't have hills for you to walk. But keep searching...who knows.
