Started the marathon training today. The team seems supportive and very nice. They have confidence they can get me into marathon shape over the next few months.

After 1st 1/2 mile I was informed I should be able to easily have a conversation at my pace. Ha! Need quite a bit more stamina running before that will happen.

I now have just over 5 months to be ready for 26 miles and change. At this point I'm concerned with 1 mile.

Why does it feel like I'm at the bottom of Mt. Everest ready to climb it in flip flops?

Called home and Dad's advice: Don't worry about being #1 in a marathon - really Dad?? You honestly thought I'm aiming for a first place finish?

Workin' hard for the money
