"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." - John Bingham, runner and author. A miracle is about to start - I am training to run my first marathon on November 28, 2010 at the Amica Seattle Marathon. I will be running in memory of my brother-in-law,Bob Price. This blog is to record and share the ongoing adventure of my training. For more info about Team In Training or to donate click the link on the right.

7/31 Week 1: Off and running!
7/31 - I went to my first practice this morning. I was beginning to wonder what I had done - "I've never done anything like this before. I don't know anyone there." - you know the drill. I am soooo glad I went. Everyone I met was friendly and helpful. I now have coaches, a mentor, a running partner in Puyallup, new friends and confidence that I can do this. All because I just showed up. I've never been a big Woody Allen fan but I have to admit he was on to something when he said "Eighty percent of success is showing up."
