First Post

I am currently procrastinating at work so I thought I'd set up this blog during what I guess could be called my lunch break.



I ran the Country Music Marathon in Nashville in April (my first half marathon) and I plan to run the Disneyland half marathon on August 31, 2008. I entered the lottery for the New York Marathon in November and signed up to potentially raise money for the American Heart Association. I hope I get in.



I go to the gym 4-5 days a week for 1-2 hours, but running is new. So at some point during 2007, I decided that it was time for me to enter a race. Training has been fun on the good days and frustrating on the bad days, but I love it because people ask me how my training is going. It's nice to talk about the thing that I spend a good portion of my day doing. Noone ever asked "how's going to the gym every morning going?" They'd just tell me I was crazy and that's be the end of it.



Also, I'm vegan so I might talk about food and how I think it affects my running. I'm blogging to keep up with my progress and hopefully get some good feedback.
