Progress Report: 10 February 2009

As things stand now, I will start training for the Marine Corps Marathon on June 21, 2008. I am as anxious as I have ever been for a personal endeavor. This will be something the likes of which I have never attempted and, in reality, five (5) years ago or so, never would have even imagined. Sure, I ran the Spinx Half Marathon last October but, by my own admission, I never really trained for it the way I needed or wanted. This whole thing is a process. Now, more than ever, I will use my preparation for Marine Corps Marathon to finish what I started on this leg of the journey. I made it to the summit, but quickly slid right off. I am still within striking distance of the peak and know what it takes to get there. The time for excuses in my life has come and gone. While I get great joy in helping and training others, it is time for me to take care of things in my world as well, for a change.
