Marathon By 40

I know it’s been a while since I last blogged. October was just a brutal month from both a work and a personal schedule standpoint. Blogging about running fell to the lowest (and thus ignored) priority. Thankfully running did not fall to the lowest, although it came close.

I’m in the middle of a week-long vacation from work. I spent the first part playing Mr. Mom while my wife was out of town. Now that she’s back, I’ll be focusing on completing a few projects around the house and getting back into a rhythm of running.

Some of those projects include some simple enhancements to the blog, and hopefully a post or two over the Thanksgiving break.

Another project will be to select my major running goals for 2009 and select training plans to get me there.

So, this is just to dust the cobwebs off the feed. If there isn’t more by the end of the week, please kick me.

Happy running!

My name is Mark. I’m starting this blog a month before I turn 38 years old. I have a personal goal to run a marathon by the time I’m 40. Considering I couldn’t run a mile without walking about a year ago, this is going to be a considerable challenge.

I’m blogging here to keep track of my progress and to allow my friends an easy way to keep me accountable and encourage me to stay on track.

Let’s run!
