Okay everyone this is it!
After having surgery on my foot in February I am now starting my training to complete the Philadelphia marathon in November of 2008.
Philadelphia seems like the best one to run as my son and his wife and my grandson live there and it just seems a great way to visit my grand-baby and get a good marathon in!
So this is my journal of my journey to the finish line!
I started the training today with a 15 mile- 1 hour on the stationary bike. Tomorrow I will be my first 30 minute run in my neighborhood instead of on a stair master.
I will let you all know how that went!
I will also post this on my training blog.

So Here I go! Wish me luck!
Wow! I really wish you all the luck there is! Thanks so much for inviting me on Blogcatalog, too!

Wow! Awesome, I wish you the best of luck, persistence and off course, fun! I admire you, I do a lot of "running around" on the farm but that is nothing compared to real training. Keep going!

Good luck--I can't imagine training for a marathon, although with 9 kids, I suppose many days felt like marathons!

I will be rooting for you to cross the finish line in record time. Whatever U decide that it is! :)

Good luck. A marathon sounds restful after 9 kids, blended family or not. With just three at home, my cross trainer does more laundry holding than miles.

Good luck with your training, don't forget, the rest is just as important as the training...
