I'm Going to Run a Marathon!

So, there I was at my weekly Fitness Support Group, listening to the ladies talk, when one of them mentioned that my friend Eileen was training for a marathon. This stuck with me throughout the day. The next time I saw her, I HAD to ask. She said she was just like me; overweight, so NOT fit, and not active at all when she decided to run a marathon. She trained with a friend and 3 months later completed a half marathon. Then she trained some more and ran 22 miles of a full marathon!! AND....wait for the drum roll... she was about to train for another one!!! Without thinking, the words plopped out of my mouth, "Can I train with you?" Before I could take it back, she said "Of course!" and started to tell me what schedule I needed to stick to in order to do it! It actually sounded do-able! By the end of our conversation, I was so pumped up that I knew there was NO going back! I AM GOING TO RUN A MARATHON!!

    You are SOOOOOO awesome! You want to know what is ironic, on August 17th, I was at the gym telling my friend how I would love to train to run a marathon. I swear, we are sometimes right on the same track (no pun intended, but accepted!) :-D
