I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Yesterday was a big day.

I decided to do something I never thought I would ever do...register for a Marathon. 

There are lots of things I never thought I would do. 

A triathlon. 

A ten-miler.

A half-marathon.

A half-ironman.

A 186-mile team running relay.

But a marathon?!?!

If the past few years have taught me anything it's that I need a goal to push me ahead. Without the next big event on the calendar I know that I will lose all ambition and drive. It may sound ridiculous but a triathlon isn't scary to me anymore. Neither really is a half-marathon. A marathon on the other hand is absolutely terrifying and might be just the thing I need to break me out the rut I have been in ever since my mom got sick for the last time. 

This is why I have decided to run the Chicago Marathon in her memory and raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It's going to be a long road with many ups and downs but I am up for the challenge. It's the least I can do really.
