Let's be clear here. This is my first blog. But perhaps it's long overdue. Not so much because what I have to say is going to enhance your life in dramatic ways. Ha, so sweet of you to think so, though! More because it's helpful for me to purge myself of my obsessive neuroses via writing. Specifically as they relate to running, that is . . . although I'm sure there will be plenty of spill-over from the rest of my life. This isn't to say that you won't enjoy yourself along the way, however. So if we're all accounted for and ready, let's get to it!
I have recently decided (ooh, "decided" is such a solid, unwavering, and frightening word, isn't it?) to run my first marathon. So depending on how you look at it, I am 165 (or 40) (or 6) days away from my "thing." My marathon of choice? The L.A. Marathon, which is being held on March 9 of next year. (Why I chose this one, I'll get into a bit later.) Hence, 165 days from now. However, as a somewhat neurotic, list-making, plan-obsessed Virgo, I am less counting down to the actual race than the start of my training schedule: November 4 (40 days away). And since I'm not content with leaving it at that, I am further counting down to the first day of online registration for the race, a mere 6 days away.
