Marathon in 2012

So what have I done this month to make myself more interesting?  I decided to run a full marathon.

I decided there is no time like the present and with each passing year, I am getting older and it will only be harder to do.  I really want to be the kind of person that goes after what they want and makes it happen.  Its going to happen this year.

What have I learned?  I learned a lot about the approach.  I've trained before and gotten injured so I'm taking it slow.  I picked out a 22 week training plan, which is longer than the usual 18, 16 or 12 week plans.  I learned about the different types of runs - Progression, Base, Recovery and Long.  I went to the doctor and learned a lot more about my heart.

As of today, I have been green lighted for the marathon!!  I saw a new cardiologist today who specializes in arrhythmia's and he assured me that what's going on is not in any way life threatening.  Wonderful news!

I'm already in week 4 of training.
