4-12-09 ---The Beginning

I'll use this blog to track my training, thoughts, and feelings that are going on in my life. Hopefully, I can keep it updated frequently, but there'll probably be times that updates will be slow. This will be a nice tool for me to be able to look back on and see progress over time. As many of you already know, I have a goal to break a record doing 53 marathons in 53 consecutive days. I'm sure my training will bring some interest, and I'll use this blog as a way to keep up with it. I hope to also be able to write a book eventually. This will keep my thoughts straight. I hope to bring some inspiration to people as I continue to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

As of a few days ago, I'm suffering from a muscle strain in my ribs (thank goodness that's all it is). Running has been at a minimum this week, but hopefully I can work my way back up to where I was again. I walked 8 miles today with my mom, but it felt like I did almost nothing. I feel like there's a big improvement even since yesterday, though! I'll keep hopeful and positive. Luckily, my allergies haven't been acting up either.

I'll spend a couple hours tonight working on my Histology paper. My topic of choice is Autoimmune Diseases of the Skin. I'm aiming to finish the introduction my tomorrow evening. That will put me in a safe position to get it done on time. I don't have class until noon tomorrow! It's going to be a productive day, though. I'm heading back to Columbus in the morning.
