17 Weeks Until I Run the Boston Marathon

Only 17 short weeks stand before me lacing up my running shoes with nearly 25K other runners in Hopkinton, MA, dreaming to cross the famous finish line on Boylston St. in Boston... I am equal parts excited and nervous. This will be my first marathon, and I don't really know what to expect. All my other endurance adventures have been in the mountains with friends with little pressure, if any to perform. This journal will be one of my tools to document my training schedule, nutrition plan, mental state, and progress training leading up to this race. Please stay tuned for more.
