Cheetah... well, kind of...

Well training for my marathon is coming along slowly it seems. For those of you who don't know, I have nerve issue in my back caused by scoliosis. It's slowing me some this season but I'm keeping my spirits up! I offically have 5 months and a little over a week until my marathon of choice (City of Rome Marathon). That should be enough time to get into the swing of things again.

I feel extremely lucky to be surrounded and encouraged by real athletes! Some folks who are embarking on one of the biggest challenges of their life and others who are just starting out in the world of athletics. Both groups, elite and beginners, are equally encouraging. Through the tricast that Cara and I produce, I have met so many people who honestly make my training life a lot easier. So, here's to you! If you're reading this, you're more than likely one who keeps me running through the pain and keeps a smile on my face as I jam out to my latest tunes on my MP3.

Today in my earbuds, I listened to Aerosmith! How can you not love this sport?!?! I'm about to really bump up the miles in the next couple of weeks hopefully, so I'll keep you posted on how things are going.

Cheers
