For a while I've been saying that I wanted to run a marathon by the time I was 40. Well, time keeps on ticking away as time tends to do, and I haven't really done that much with it. I run a bunch of 5K's, and I enjoy running, but I really didn't make any real solid plans. Then a friend of mine that works for the American Heart Association had placements in NYC Marathon in exchange for fundraising. So I got serious about doing a marathon.
I ultimately decided not to take that ever appealing offer. Mainly because if I did not reach their fundraising goal, I would be liable for the remainder of the money. I would like to think that I could count on my family and friends to donate and help me out, but I would be really hurting if I had to come up with a thousand dollars in the end! I felt like that offer was presented to me for a reason, and now it didn't pan out for a reason. The seed has been planted. So I'm training for a marathon that has yet to be determined. Even if I run the 26.2 miles all on my own, that will still be a success for me.
