I have begun my training for a marathon, not to say that "I have done it", but to say that "I have enjoyed it" maybe not the run itself, but the journey to arrive in the place that I am today. Healthy, prosperous (in many ways -- not just money), surrounded and supported by many friends & family and my partner, loving what I do, where i live and all of the advantages i am so fortunate to share!
I do want the race medal, which is from the company sponsor whom I have lovingly dedicated 11 years of blood sweat and tears to make a better place. Only time will tell if this is true... guess this journey will have to continue and the results are yet to be determined! It was my lucky day when i came across a tiny newspaper ad that mentioned this career opportunity to help people --- this career has helped me more than i can measure.
so.... training has begun --- finishing week 3 --- convinced that my plan is solid, my body is able, and my will is my strongest ally! The best byproduct of going after this medal --- i have a closet full of jeans that have not seen the light of day in years... i think they are going to be back in service soon! (hopefully the gloria vanderbilt's are not out of style!)
Mileage for week 3 = 7 miles

Bill was instrumental in my decision to run my first marathon and it's an accomplishment I'll always be proud of!
Hope you received the Strider newsletter. Let me know if you did not.
Keep up the good work!
2 miles for March? Need some walking done with the family this week. April 1 is the real start date for training. mileage will start piling up then, you'll have to plan routes before you travel. You can probably find them on the internet thru local running clubs. See ya.
What happened to your mileage log????? We need to keep track of your progress.
