First Entry

This is the first entry for Running with a Purpose. I plan to give updates along my journey to the Chicago marathon. My big goal here is to eventually qualify for Boston, and then I can redetermine some new goals. For now, I want to see how training goes on the way to Chicago. The past 2 weeks have been great. My legs are feeling a little tired, however overall I feel good about my progress. Week 1 was 24 miles. Week 2 was 25 miles. This past Saturday we ran a 15k race in Peoria, IL (Steamboat Classic). The race was a lot of fun, however there was a 500ft hill right at the 2 mile marker that killed me. Obviously I will need to work on my hills...

So now everyone is caught up, and we can begin the journey. See you all soon.
