Gotta start sometime.

I started thinking today about the 2009 Green Bay marathon today and that it must be about 4 months away. I am going to need 4 months to build up my endurance and stamina if I plan to run the marathon that's route goes through Lambeau Field. I was close, I should have started last week.
I called Andy, who put the "bug in my ear" back in October shortly after he completed his first marathon and said he was thinking of doing the Green Bay marathon in May 2009. He wondered if I would consider it also.
I ran the Chicago marathon in 2003 and was always going to do another. Prior to that I had always been a runner, but the half marathon had been my max race distance. Since Chicago I have continued to run, but settled back into the anything shorter than 13.1 miles routine I had prior to it. Now that wasn't the plan. I was going to run a marathon again the next year and when that didn't happen it was going to be in two years. When that didn't happen it was going to be every four years like the Olympics. Time fly's and now I am going to attempt my second 5 1/2 years later.
I really should have started last week, but I think I can still get where I need to be by May 17th. I will try to keep up on my blogging and keep you informed on how the next four months go.
