As Boomer mentioned, running the marathon was my harebrained idea. To me, running the marathon is the next logical step in my endurance sport adventure.
Three years ago, I took up triathlons after watching a good friend of mine from high school finish Ironman Wisconsin. It looked like the challenge I was ready for in my life. The need for a physical challenge precipitated, because that next year marked the ten year anniversary of my Dad’s death from a heart attack. That day at Ironman, one part fear, one part homage were combined with the inspiration of that Ironman finish line to give me my new goal. That summer I competed in two triathlons and ran the TC 10 mile. Last year, I focused on running, completing my first half marathon and the TC 10 mile again. This year, I plan on competing in two sprint distance triathlons, two half marathons, culminating in the marathon. Sprinkled in between these races, I will turn 30 and get married. Throughout the next 198 days, I will be chronicling my training for these events, hopefully on a daily basis. My training schedule starts on March 20th.
