Day 4. . .

The reactions I've gotten have been quite encouraging. When I told my husband I wanted to run a marathon, he was very supportive. Not enough to want to join me, though. He said he's prefectly willing to ride along side of me on his motorcycle when I train. What a guy! He's really looking forward cheering me on at the Chicago marathon, too.

And, when I was in church Sunday, a friend wanted to know if I was in training because his wife (also a friend) saw me on TV. They already do marathons and they're excited. He's even talked me & another church member into running a 5K in April!

By the way, I can run. But, I can only manage about a mile and a half. Years ago, I used to run 3 miles about 3x weekly. Then, I got married, got busy, stopped going to the gym, gained weight, etc.

I am not a morning person, but this Thursday I will attempt to get up at 5:00 am and go to the gym to get my "wogging" in. Hope I can do it!

Ok, well here goes. . .

When I was 29, I had decided to give my life to Christ. As the new year approached & I was about to turn 30, I realized my life wasn't all that spectular. So, I made a long list of things I wanted to accompish before I turned 40, but then changed it to "before I die." One of those things was to complete a marathon. So, now, I've signed up for the "Marathon Makeover" and it's Day 2 of my training.
