Marathon!!
by JULIA
Good Morning and happy Monday! This week is going to be an exciting week as I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will finally get the job posting function working!! We have had an exceptionally busy couple of weeks and now we are ready to focus on getting great content up every day. I should have some nice announcements coming to you……including that today marks day #1 for my training for the Miami marathon which will take place on January 31, 2010. If I make it past the finish line, this will make my 3rd completed marathon. I ran my first back in 1998 in Chicago on an offer by my cousin that if I ran the marathon with him, he would fly me to Chicago for 10 days. I was 18 at the time and it seemed like a great offer. I had NO idea how to train for a marathon and had only completed 13 miles when I boarded my flight BUT I finished all 26.2 miles!! It was pure torture and by no means did I find it fun, but for some odd reason I signed up for another 3 years later. I make it to the race day for the second one due to a weak immune system and a wicked flu season, however I signed up again 3 years from then and had a great race. Again, torture, but I made it.
So here I go again…embarking on completing another marathon.
I will be updating my weekly training here on Shoebizness so you can keep track of me and my training. Oh and if you are wondering….I currently train in Nike’s. They won’t last me for too long because I have already worn them for quite a few miles, so I will take suggestions for my next shoe!
