Getting Started

If you know me at all, you know I've had many goals, dreams, aspirations in recent years that failed to come to fruition due to my own lack of motivation/and/or stupidity. Well the past few weeks as runners from around the country were gearing up for the annual Chicago Marathon, the gears in my mind started to turn, and I began to wonder if I could ever be one of those people.

Long story short, I decided I am going to conquer the Chicago Marathon next year. What does that mean? Since I am not a competitive runner, an awful lot of pretty hardcore training within the next 365-ish days. I am hoping this blog will help keep me motivated and remind me why I have decided to do this.

This will all start with me purchasing a brand new pair of Nikes.

Godspeed!
