I'm training for a marathon!

I'm super excited for this one!! In October, I will be running my first ever marathon! I have run 2 half marathons, a 10K and too many 5Ks to count. For those of you who are not familiar a marathon is...

26.2 MILES!!!!!!!

Now before you freak, yes, I know this is a long ways. It is not however the longest race. I've read some running books from runners that have done ultra marathons. Go look them up, those are truly nuts! Some even up to 100 miles and above. THAT is some serious milage I will never touch.

But I'm excited, so that leave me to you. I challenge ALL of you to sign up for a "race" somewhere. It could be the Color Run or Glow Run, or something similar, where it's not really a race. But I encourage you all to do it, because signing up for a race gets you in the mood. Get you excited. Gives you something to work towards. A real goal.

So I'm going to leave you now, with my training schedule. Started today! Feel free to follow along with me. Heck, I would love to see you at the Des Moines Marathon with me!
