Joey's BLoGston Marathon: Day 1

BLoGston Marathon: Day 1

So I have decided to train for the Boston Marathon. Notice I said train for the Boston Marathon, cuz I ain’t running it until I’m in Hopkington on April 15th this year. Lots of things can happen from now til then, so I’m gonna try to take it one day at a time. I have done a couple half marathons but nothing over 13 miles. I am thrilled to say I do have a trainer. Her name is Lizzie and she went to college with my wife and she is amazing. Every time I doubt myself, I get an email or a text from her with all this really interesting info on how to do this whole thing right, and that gives me a little more faith in the process. Lizzie just ran a 50 mile race. 50!!! So she knows what she is talking about! And I keep talking to God- keep asking him if I’m crazy trying to fit this into my schedule in this hectic but blessed time in my life… No lightning bolts yet, so I’m gonna keep on runnin’. And if you don’t mind, I’ll keep you posted. Cuz I think I can do this without you, but I’d rather not. -jm
