Marathon

Well, I finally remembered what I had to blog about. I completed my first ever marathon on September 27, 2010! Please, please, no applause necessary.

Seriously, wait until I explain.

On August 23 when the teenagers started school we started a packaged physical education program with their schooling. By September 27 I had logged 27 miles --- 1 mile at a time! Yay, me! By this Wednesday I will have completed my second marathon since school started. BUT the first six weeks were a mile a day, then 3 weeks of 1.5 miles. This week started 2 miles a day. There are also time benchmarks that have to be maintained. By Friday I'm supposed to hit the two miles in 29 minutes or less. That's a pretty good clip and I'm not real confident. The 1.5 was tough enough.
