First marathon by RunDa

A couple of years ago, my doctor told me that I was either going to have to go on a diet or start running. Since I love food, I opted to run. I never intended to LIKE it! I figured a lap around the lake, maybe three times a week, and I could call it good.

Who knew I'd be hooked? :)

Now I run every day, and I look forward to it! And, by the way, I didn't end up going on a formal diet, but after carrying extra weight around on my runs, I began to watch what I eat.

Life's funny, huh?

So last November, I decided to run my first marathon. I live in New York, but couldn't be so presumptuous to start there. :) So Jersey it is!

I've been training pretty hard since November, and I'll be training hard right up until race day.
