A Journey of a thousand miles [or 26.2 in my case] begins with a single step

["A] journey of a thousand miles ..[or 26.2 in my case] begins with a single step."

-A 1904 Sayings of Lao Tzu

Today was my first official day of training for the Marine Corps Marathon. I'm excited but more than anything I'll admit..I'm scared (and not asahmed to admit it). Today was the "easy" part. The training schedule called for me to run 4 miles. Finished it. No problem. Tomorrow I will run 6 miles. As I was running today I kept thinking if this were the actual marathon I would have 22.2 miles left to go. Yikes. I'm convinced that the hardest part of the training and the race itself is mental. If I can dream it I can acheive it, right? Stay tuned.....
