Training

I've decided to begin training for the Portland Marathon a few months away. I began by running about a mile today. I think I need to step up the pace. I ran the Portland Marathon many, many years ago back in my younger days. Now, I no longer have the stamina of youth, and thus must train well to get ready. Preparation and training rather than brute strength is what will do it for me.

Jogging

I've been staying true to my new year's resolution by jogging every day. I get up in the morning and jog. When I need to watch my kids, I just jog around the inside of my house. On other occasions, I jog around the neighborhood. I tend to jog for around 7-10 minutes. I will extend the time as I get in shape.

Out With The Old And In With The New

Happy New Year 2010! Well, I stayed true to last year's new year's resolution to write a daily blog on my attempts to do something new and different every day for the family. I had to adjust the resolution slightly to blog about other things because it is hard to do something new and different every day. But I kept the essence of my resolution which was to blog every day. Now, I have completed that resolution. My new resolution is to jog every day and complete a half marathon in 2010. I think I can accomplish this. I'll probably just blog every now and then this year. I can't do it every day because I have a new resolution to keep. It's been a great year and now let's focus on the new year!
