Well, here goes.  My first-ever step into the world of blogging.  2007 is nearing an end, and I'm looking forward to starting a new year and a new marathon goal.

Last year's Cleveland Marathon was my first, and I ran it in a super slow 5:13.  If I hadn't stopped at the porta potties 57 times, I might have broken 5 hours, which will be my goal for 2008.  Let's hope my body cooperates.

Santa brought me lots of new gear, which is something that always re-energizes my training, so thanks to hubby-Santa for the new waterproof, pretty pink running jacket and thanks to daughter-Santa for the new black running pants.  If I'm going to again run 26+ miles, I'd prefer to be comfortable and dare I say, cutely dressed doing it.
