Yesssssss!! Just got back. I walked five, ran five, walked five, ran five, walked five, ran five! Just three days ago I was doubting that it was even possible. I did better on the third leg than on the first. The second was the hardest. I just can't believe I did it! Now I can't wait to try it again!
Just like last time, Jim kept telling me to slow down and that seems to be the key. It's nice having him along.

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.............
