Running my first marathon is my number one goal of 2013. It’s important to me, matter of fact running my first marathon is more important to me than losing any more weight this year. Sure it would be great to lose more weight but if 2013 was my last year on this earth I’d rather run a marathon! Hey, that may seem a little extreme to some of you, but those who have that drive to crush their goals know what I mean. Anyways one of the hardest things about running my first marathon was picking one to run. I pondered about it; ask people, read magazines but nothing stood out to me. Then it hit me! Since I’ve been in Connecticut I’ve only been back to my home town twice. My family knows that I picked up running, and trying to lose weight but they think every race I run is a marathon. Even though they don’t understand the terminology I know one thing they will support me 100%
That’s why I’ve decide to set my sights on the Detroit Marathon, Sunday, October, 20, 2013. I can’t think of any better way to do it. I get the support of my family and friends, I run my first marathon, plus I get to run internationally… Yes internationally… The Detroit Marathon has part of the race in Windsor Ontario. The race goes over the Ambassador Bridge which takes the race into Canada. Then the race continues along the riverfront then back to Detroit via Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. How exciting is that?
I’m really thrilled about the race. I’ve already registered for it and there’s no looking back or refunds at least. But in all seriousness I’m committed to running this race, I’m committed to being a marathon runner, and I want this as bad as I want to breathe! If you don’t know anything about me you should know this… Once I have in my mind that I’m going to do something, you might as well get out of my way, because nothing is going to stop me!
DETROIT MARATHON HERE I COME!
