What am I doing this for?

So I finally step up to the plate and start a blog. So why did I decide to do this? After over 2 years of Half Marathon training and 10+ races it has finally become time to tackle the big one, yep, a full Marathon. So why not have a place to share my thoughts, trials and tribulations of tackling my first marathon. I walk into this arena with high hopes but realize the difficulties ahead. I'll try and share my thoughts on the run whether it concerns running or the world around me. My background is that I am a Cardiac RN and I have a firm belief that fitness in any shape or form not only helps people live longer healthier lives but can help one keep their sanity. I've got a long road ahead, so if you like come along for the ride.
