In the beginning...

I can run 3 miles. But by the end, I'll be able to run 26. That's amazing to me. 26 miles! In one stretch! Hopefully. Training with We Run San Antonio begins on my birthday, ironically enough. Next Saturday will be the official start of everything. Last year, I didn't make it. I did really well all summer, but when school started my training program fell apart. Mostly due to the fact that I was getting married the week after the marathon. That took precedence, as well it should have. But there is nothing like that to stand in my way this year. Only my own will power and determination. I am determined to finish this race. I'm not running a marathon for any particular reason. It's just something I've always wanted to do, and something I want to see if I can do. That's it. Just a personal goal. So, here I am at the beginning. Three miles will turn into 26.
