Why Do I Want to Run a Marathon?

This question must be answered and so here it goes. I want to push myself past all the limits I think I have and be able to look back and see that I am as strong as I have always wanted to be. At this time the thought of running 26.2 miles seems like a dream but I am excited to see how that dream slowly becomes a reality.

The reason I will be able to do this comes in one word, Matt. He is my coach and my biggest fan. He has set up my running schedule and has it emailed to me everyday. He watches the kids so I can run and is always ready to listen about all my issues even down to the silly ones.

So far I have run 4 days with a total of 10 miles. Yeah! The good news is I am still excited and I even ran in the rain one day.
