Here goes nothing

Today is my first official running day to train for my very first marathon May 20th. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. You get a totally different feeling then just talking about doing a marathon then actually signing up to do one.  The day I registered I sat at the computer for about 15 minutes before I hit the complete registration. I sat here and thought "Do I have what it takes", "Will I be able to finish", "Am I doing this because my friends are doing it or is this something I really want to do for myself". So after all those thoughts and many more finished in my head I "sucked" it up and completed the registration. Yesterday I sat down and wrote all my running days on the calander along with my off days and strength training days.  I am going to train and I am going to finish my marathon even if I have to walk the last 13.1 miles.  I WILL DO IT!!!!  One of my besties and her hubby will also be running a marathon I do believe that day as well.  I am soooo excited for them.  Even though we are in different states we will be running together. We will earn our matching tattoos :)
