Sometimes I have to challenge myself to go to a place I've never been before. That is how you bust through plateaus and take yourself to new heights. So, I have taken a challenge to run the Marine Corp Marathon this fall. My father ran it back in the day and set the "family record" of 3 hours and 29 min. That is just under 8 minutes a mile for 26.2 miles. My challenge is to beat this. This is a very steep challenge indeed. However, trying to do this will make me better. My training has begun. I will first attempt to get off about 30 pounds to get in ultimate race shape. As the pounds go down, I will focus more on speed. I will keep you updated on my progress.
