I can't it's almost been 8 months since I ran the LA Marathon- it seems like such a long time ago! I told myself that after completing the marathon, I would continue running and entering in races ranging from 5ks to full marathons. I miss the camaraderie of running around my neighborhood and the so called "runners high" I got after running. Unfortunately, I did not hold up my promise to myself, and so far have only run occasionally since March. However, a few weeks ago, after one of my nicest/best friends, Ian, sneakily discovered this blog, I have had running and marathons on my mind. Ian decided to run the DC Marathon after we had talked about it for a little while, but I was a bit apprehensive to join him at first. His passion, focus, and commitment towards both running and bettering himself have been truly inspiring and motivating.. So, after much consideration, I have decided to join him and begin training for the DC Marathon. I am looking forward to running more and being a more discipline and motivated person. Not to mention how cool it will be to know that I have completed 2 Marathons before the age of 19 in two scenic and beautiful cities. The 4 month countdown begins!!
