Both Feet Forward

I made my decision.

I want to run in the Twin Cities marathon next year.

I've done the research, and that means I should start the training schedule I'll follow in the middle of January.

With the recommended running habits to start the training schedule, that actually means I should probably start running consistently before the Xmas holidays. I'm putting the end of this quarter as my start time. Somewhere around the second week of December or so, I'll begin my training for the marathon.

If you know me well, this kind of decision means there are lots of "toys" and "tools" that I will want/need to help me with this process. I have pretty specific ideas of some, so if you are feeling overly generous, let me know, I'd love for you to buy me the things I need. (Please don't read this as me asking for something, I actually think my wife will get me some of the stuff for my birthday.)

Wish me luck. I'll start updating my progress once I begin training, and if any of you ever want to run with me, I'd be more than happy to drag you along (or vice versa if you are faster than me).
