First Post

This is the spot where I'll keep a log of my running. My goal is to run a marathon in 2007, and you're welcome to come along for the ride. Comments or e-mails are always welcome. I'm not the fastest runner in the world, but if I can finish 26.2 miles in whatever time it takes I'll be happy.

To get things started right, I ran a little over 2.5 miles today (Sunday) in the neighborhood, more to get out of the house and stay loose than to accomplish any major training goals. We had an ice storm a few days ago, so this was really my first chance since Tuesday. The temperature was 27 desgrees with a stiff breeze from the north that makes it feel like 16 degrees (according to Yahoo weather). I felt good on the run, although that wind took it out of me on the way back home. Attire included gloves, headwrap, sweatshirt (Cardinals, of course), t-shirt, and long-sleeved athletic shirt that supposedly wicks moisture away from the skin. Yeah, right.

Thanks for stopping by and see you around!
