Ok yesterday I started looking into some "free" online training programs/guides for my upcoming ING Georgia Marathon in late March 2008.  I thought I was doing pretty good.....NOT.  After viewing a couple of the programs I found that at this point in my training I should be logging about 35 miles per weeek. 

So this morning I figured I needed to get things kick started.. I got in 7 miles (vs. my normal 3).. very slow pace but heck.. I got them in and after the first 2... I can honestly say I felt really good...so needless to say I was thrilled.  Also..to top it off I went to a spin aerobic class today at lunch so today I am feeling like I am on top of the world... tomorrow however :-)  we will have to see!!

I have come to the realization that I am competitive so yeah my initial goal is to just finish my 1st full marathon without walking.  Although... the closer I can finish to the time I need to qualify for the Boston Marathon the more motivated I will feel about being able to train and accomplish it on my 2nd or third full marathon!
