It has been a long time since I have blog here.    For my 48th birthday my wife gave me a running diary – so my question to her if this meant she was OK with us (our family) to go down to D.C. in March – to watch me run my first marathon.   Yes!!  What a wife!!

My longest run has been the 1/2 marathon which I did in 2009 down in D.C.  So this will be a big challenge getting ready in the next 5 months to run 26 miles. 

I haven’t been running so today I ran a light 2 mile run to get the old legs moving – it was a great feeling to be on the road again. 

I need to get a few things together for my training.   1) A running schedule 2) Register for the Marathon 3)Find inexpensive accommodations in D.C. and 4) Need to order a cradle for my GPS sport watch.

Only 115 Days, 3 Hours, 53 Minutes, and 20 Seconds to the start of the Marathon!
