I have yet to give up on my goal to run my first marathon after being out of shape for the past 5 years. Check out the latest entry in my Marathon Journal.
Excerpt:
"The past two weeks have proven to be the most difficult yet. Balancing the desire to run with the death of a family member is a daunting task. For the first time in four weeks of training I could not muster the energy to complete my workout. I ended up passing on two more training sessions before finally regaining my stride. I am positive that my grandmother would not want me to quit my goal of running a marathon. Therefore, with a heavy heart, I will push on."
