I've been thinking about starting a blog that deals with my running fora while now. Finally, I thought, let's do this!
For the next 51 days, my focus is going to be on my preparation for my first Boston Marathon.
Now Boston isn't my first marathon, but it is my first marathon in over 25 years, and it is my first time running the grand daddy of all marathons.
Why haven't I run a marathon in over 25 years? Well, in 1986 I basically quit running. I didn't quit being a runner, but I wasn't running. I kept reading magazines & books about it, but I never seemed to catch the bug, until three years ago. 2008, I made a promise to myself that starting in January 2009 I'd give it a try again. January 1st, along with all the New Years Resolutioners, I hit the treadmills at the gym. Started with walking, and gradually started adding in running.
Now over 1500 miles later, "I'm Shipping Up To Boston". Dropkick Murphys
