I am documenting my road to my first (and probably only) marathon. Over the past year I have inspired family and friends as I went from complete slug to someone who has completed 2 1/2 marathons in my 1st year as a runner. I have never been a runner, I am not slender but I have determination! I hope my journey from a couch potato to my first marathon inspires you. Whether you are taking your first step in running shoes or are a routine runner, I hope you can relate to my journey.
