Twas the night before...

For another 7 minutes it will be Christmas. This Christmas I decided to gift myself. Although I had a BOGO process to my shopping (Buy One, Give One) this season, gifting myself came in a new package then in the past.

What's the gift? I am running a marathon. Now, now, now...Don't panic. Not the likes of 26.2 but rather half, 13.1. For now.

I have spent a large part of my life focusing on the needs of others. Shift. Change. 2010 is about me.

Tomorrow begins my physical transformation. My journey. Tomorrow begins a new life.

On May 2nd I will be running in the Philadelphia Broad Street Run. September 19th will be the ING Philadelphia Distance Run.

Light the flame. Start the game. I am capable of whatever I decide. Decision made. Price will be paid. The finish line is in my future.
