DAY 1

This morning began Day 1 of my long haul goal toward the Portland Marathon. I recently acquired an amazing coach who is helping me through this process. I trained myself through the Half Marathon last year. But I'm aware that 26.2 miles is a whole different animal & that I need help to get there. Right now I'm learning what it means to pace myself, which isn't just a running lesson. It's a life lesson! I tend to jump wholeheartedly into something and work through it til it fades or ends. I'm learning life and all its struggles, triumphs and issues takes time. This marathon is for Matthew, and I want to make my little angel proud of me! I am so thankful for the amazing people in my life, and for the people who support me every step of the way. With people to encourage & push me, I will be unstoppable!
