I finally gave into the world of blogging...

Well folks, that's right. I finally gave into the computer generation that I am a part of and succumbed to the world of blogging. BUT, in my defense, I think this is a pretty good reason to start blogging!

SO, yes, it's true I am indeed training for a marathon. Just in case you didn't hear me correctly I said: I AM TRAINING FOR A MARATHON!!!! and yes, i am probably insane, yes.

As I write this inaugural blog I am bleary eyed yet surprisingly bushy tailed (which I can only attribute to the massive mug of coffee sitting on my desk) from my crack-o-dawn morning run at 6am. I have found in the last few weeks that it takes a special kind of person to endure the morning workout, the early rising, the long restless day at work that follows, and I have come to the profound conclusion that I do not innately posses this aptitude. I am not a morning person, as Erik can admittedly attest to, yet god bless me I AM TRYING! I actually woke up before Mr. Beall today which may possibly be the first time ever and threw on my running clothes to meet up with some teammates in Arlington for our morning fresh run! I met up with Tara, my new friend from our last long-run and another really sweet woman who I forgot her name cause I'm so bad with names! Oops. We only did about a 3 mile loop, a short run this week and it felt good, real good, too good. What is wrong with me!? I never thought I would be "that" runner but I really am starting to like it! I'm NO WHERE NEAR the point of waking-up-at-5am-by-choice-with-a-huge-smile-on-my-face-after-dreaming-all-night-about-running... but I am making it routine... and the smile comes after the run. :-D

Ok well back to work- keep checking back often - I'll get more interesting I promise! haha
