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!
Books to Help This Thing Happen
- The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer by David Whitsett, Forrest Dolgener and Tanjala Kole
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.............

I know it's easy to get down about things like this (or if not down, then at least to let them get to you a bit) but I think it is important to remember that you are running your own race--no matter how fast you run it, whether you walk parts of it or not, etc., it is your race and no one else's. I finished my first marathon upright, in minimal pain, and with a huge smile on my face; you don't have to be falling down and at risk of losing control of your body :) You do have a fair amount of choice when it comes to how you will feel when you are running those 26.2 miles!
