Once again I’ve picked up my old copy of Marathoning for Mortals by John Bingham and Jenny Hadfield and I’m giving it another go. This Thanksgiving I’ll be walk/running the Victoria Marathon. All three girls will be in the city to cheer me on, so that’s kind of cool — although I must admit, I’m not sure how I feel about the fanfare as I’m not a pretty runner – rather a red faced puffer with a flail gait. We’ll see, I guess. LOL. So, just pointing out that I’m starting this at about 50 pounds too heavy, but I’ve got a plan for that, too. Last weekend was a 7 mile jaunt in the pouring rain that resulted in a lovely (not) blister that my daycare kids keep telling me looks like a raisin on my heel. They are not wrong. 😉 Wish me steadfast focus, please! I’d appreciate all the support I can get!
