I had nothing better going on in my life, so I thought, hey why not train for a marathon?! NOT EXACTLY. The capricious decision unfolded over two glasses of yummy Cabernet at the OKC Thunder Basketball game a few weeks with a couple of friends. It’s amazing what you will commit to under the influence. LOL!!! I tend to have an obsessive personality when it comes to committing to projects. The first marathon I will be running in is the Redbud 5K.
I joined a gym and have been either cycling, running or weight-training every night. I love it. I’m feeling more confident and buff. I’m developing muscles I never knew were underneath all that (cough) “bingo flab.” Ha! And, the proceeds for the marathon goes to local charities, which is a win-win. If I don’t pass out or die, I plan on doing the Fun in the Sun or Hot in the Sun marathon in June. My long-term goal is to raise enough money so I can run away RUN the marathon in Hawaii and wear a suntan and lei.
So, tell me… have you ever trained for a marathon? Which ones did you run in? Did you die? Please share your experiences!
