I am hoping to run a marathon.  I usually try not to set too many goals or pressure myself, but this is one goal I have.  I will run a marathon before I am 50.  Don’t ask me why but I am set on doing it.  I figure this year is as good as any since I’ve run two half marathons already.  The guys I run with each morning are not marathon runners.  I meet a group of cops from around the department who are training also.  I’d be lying if I said I was the fastest in the group.  Let’s be honest, I’m the slowest, but I don’t really mind being last because I compete only with myself.  I just go out there and give it my best.  I guess you could say I need to do this for me…finally something for me.
