Mardi Gras and Oh the Places We Will Go


It's official. I'm going to run a marathon, or at least a half-marathon, on February 1, 2009.

On my run this morning, I thought of all of the strides (no pun intended) I've made in the last few years. Running in a marathon has always been a goal of mine. But because I had a lot of speed as a kid, I was labeled a sprinter. Sadly, in spite of the fact that I enjoy running distance and am fairly good at it, I've allowed myself to be crippled by the idea that I don't do distance well. No more.

My shoes and feet must be forewarned: we have lots of ground to cover. Mardi Gras Marathon here we come!
