Milestone complete

As a follow-up to my original post 6 months ago, I completed a major milestone in my quest to run the SF Marathon in July. This past Sunday, I ran the the Kaiser SF Half Marathon; beating my 2 hour goal by a few minutes (1:56:31). Highlights of the half-marathon include: running with a unicorn, listening to the one-man drum circle, high-fiveing a human-size Lego man, and finishing!

In order to beat my 4 hour Marathon goal, I still have a lot more miles in front of me. But I'm thrilled to be on plan.

Day 1

I drove by the SF Marathon this morning as I head out of SOMA to drop off a friend at SFO, and realized that I no longer have any legitimate excuses to not do something I've wanted to do for a while. So... I hereby publicly commit myself to running the SF Marathon in 2010. This will be my first marathon (hopefully of many), and I'm currently out-of-shape, so I'll need all 52 weeks to make this happen. My goal is to complete the race under 4 hours. I'm heading to the gym right now for Day 1.
