Registered- now I gotta do this thing.

It's for real now. A light at the end of the tunnel:

winds of change

OK, so I haven't posted in a little while. A few reasons for this: #1 I don't think that anyone is reading, so I'm just babbling to myself. #2 I don't have a fundraising effort up and running yet #3 My original marathon (The Twin Cities Marathon) filled up a few weeks ago, knocking the wind out of my sails.

Regardless, I'm still training, and looking at another marathon in Mankato, MN. It's a week or so after Twin Cities, the course seems good enough, and has the merit of qualifying for the Boston Marathon (adding to its legitimacy as a course). I think this is one to aim for, once I have the cash to register, which should be soon given my recent promotion. Of course, I don't want to make the faux pas of waiting too long again.

I'm on track with my training, I believe. I just ran 11 miles on Saturday, and will kick it up in the next week or so to run a half-marathon length. An unseasonably cool day allowed for a good run. It felt good again, and for the first time since I began this endeavor, I really felt like I could do this thing. I have to; it's all I really have going for me right now.
