This year I turn 40! My birthday is in December, so I have a few months left in my 30's. I decided to set a goal for myself and post it to the world to make myself stick to it. Every year right around my birthday, there is a marathon right near me and I am going to do it! I have never done anything like this before, but I thought this is a perfect goal for me for 40! I need to lose weight anyway and run for my sanity. Maybe this will help relieve some stress? I know I feel much happier and more patient after Pilates. It also is impossible to get around this day and they run right down the street from me, so I might as well join in. I am actually quite excited about it and I have plenty of time to train. If I am ready earlier, I might just do the Turkey Trot Run, too. And maybe not. If anyone has ideas on great running shoes, please share. I have cross trainers and need support for all the saggy body parts. :) Get ready White Rockers, here I come! Do you think they would give me my Exxon French Vanilla Supreme coffee on the stops? ----- Probably not.
