One of the reasons I'm starting a blog is because I checked a simple checkbox. When I registered for the 2007 Chicago Marathon there was a simple question on the registration form asking if I would be willing to journal my training for the Marathon. I checked that simple little checkbox.
I was honored by being one of only 6 people out of the 45,000 that registered for the race to be selected to share my training highs and lows.
After over 6 months of journaling my training, it became habit and fun. Once the Marathon was over, so was my commitment to them. A local runner started an online training blog so I decided to continue by starting my own.
The original Chicago Marathon diary can be found here: http://www.chicagomarathon.com/CMS400Min/Chicago_Marathon/inspiration/index.aspx?id=786
Since web sites change and this diary will last only for a few months on their site, I decided to copy my entries to this blog.
I hope that people gain inspiration and encouragement from my original CM diary and my continued bloggin here.
