I am going to blog about my marathon training. I have some big ideas about a non-profit organization to raise money for Parkinson's Research. That is my motivation for running. My grandmother has Parkinson's and it will give me something to run for.
Just some quick thoughts on my training so far. I have begun running about 3 miles 3 times a week. I need to pick up the pace and push myself more. Though, the other night was really hard when I ran after eating a bunch of fish tacos.
My ankle hurts when I start, but once I get going, it feels okay. I sprained it really bad about 3 or 4 months ago. I think I did some permanent damage. After, on certain days, it feels stiff, but nothing too serious yet. Maybe when I get up in my milage it will be worse. We will have to see.
Also, I have an ingrown toenail, but I don't want to take care of it until after I do the marathon so I don't loose training time.
This blog is more for me so I can remember my runs and the difficulties and successes I encounter.
Until my next run...
(oh, and my non-profit slogan, for record keeping, "Run for a cause. Run for a cure. Run for it Marty!")
