My first Marathon!

I have some very exciting news. I am officially signed up to run in my very first marathon. It was my birthday a few weeks ago and I decided that to celebrate I wanted to compete in my first marathon.


I am running the Portland Marathon. I have never been to Portland so I am excited to get to check it out. My parents are also coming to watch me run.  I am currently on my 5th week of training. I am about to go out and do my 15 mile run. I read a bunch of different training schedules and made my own based on reading and time I had before training. Most schedules have you complete at least 16 weeks of training but since I had been running before hand, I figured only 12 will work. I am hoping so at least. 


Running a marathon has been a goal of mine for such a long time now. I think it such an amazing accomplishment. I am super nervous about it. There is something scary about having to complete 26 miles in just a few hours. I can't wait!
