Believe it or not (because I am not sure I believe it yet), but I did sign up for the LA Marathon on March 20, 2011, last night. Thankfully, my official first day of training happened to be yoga day so I am not groaning yet.
A friend of mine, Hilary, and I joined Team in Training which is the largest fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Through the team we get training, coaching, weekly practices and I am sure a lot more than I even know now. Sounds like a lot of support so far, but I know this is something that I can do. I just have to do it mentally.
This commitment is not all that random, because I have wanted to run a marathon for a few years. Well maybe my goal had fallen recently to a half, but its something I have wanted to do. I somewhat dragged Hilary to the meeting last night and we were both thinking before that even a half sounds like a lot. And well...what do you know...an hour later we've embarked in twice that! Thanks to Hilary's words of wisdom...
"Go Big or Go Home!"
So here we go! We are going big!
