My Heart and Soul, my Hope

I have decided to run the St. Louis Marathon in April of 2008 and hopefully the St. Charles Marathon in September of 2008 also. It will be my first time to run two marathons in a year. I've ran a marathon and a half-marathon in a year but never two fulls.

Can I do it?

As with everything, I have to take one day at a time. A marathon is very much a mental challenge as much as it is a physical challenge. So, mentally I have to get ready to train, to grind through the days I don't feel like running. Throw in the injuries, sickness....life. The marathon is more about the journey than the race itself.

My cheerleaders will be my wife (littlemisssassy.blogspot.com) and my 4 month old daughter Hope (littlelittlemisssassy?). They are my heart and soul.

I will put my trails and tribulations of my training here for you to follow along and for my own motivation.
