My first Blog!

So I have made the decision that I am going to create a blog for my upcoming training.  I have no idea if anybody is even going to care about my training and how it is going but I'm giving this a whirl anyway.  If anything else, my Mom may check in from time to time.  So my goal is to break 3 hours in Philly.  My "official" training will start August 1st but I've got some other stuff coming up before that as well.  I guess this could be my test run while being in "maintain-style" training from the spring.  I also don't know for sure how easy this is going to be to stay up on.  I am also doing the Runner's World Challenge for Philly so my training schedule is online and easy to follow.  We'll see how much I post and maybe there'll be a direct link to it.  As is the norm with me and training programs, I'm sure I'll be making some changes on the fly with Ragnar's and other races requiring a tweak here and there.  Anyway, we'll see how this all goes.  I'm pretty pumped to get started!
