Why The Blog?

There are a few reasons I have decided to blog about my running and pursuit of a marathon:

• To give me extra motivation and provide more accountability for my training (up to now if I skipped a workout, only I knew about it; however, if readers of the blog are expecting to find out how my workout went that day there is more pressure to not skip it)
• To get feedback on my training and other running related issues from other runners
• To help motivate other beginning runners to reach for new goals or give motivation to current non-runners to start

I'm hoping that I'll blog often enough and the content is interesting enough to make it worthwhile for readers to visit the blog on a regular basis!
