Day 1 "Road to Portland"

Today is day one of what I am calling..."Road to Portland". Yesterday I signed up for the Portland marathon. 

It has been almost 3 years since my last marathon and almost 2 years since I have ran anything longer than 6 miles. 

I am a little worried about it, but really excited. Worried that I won't be able to do it, or that my body will not get in shape fast enough. Worried that I will hate running again. Worried I will burn out before I get there. These are all a bunch of what ifs though. 

I am excited to be setting a health goal. I have taken some time away from running to focus on Crossfit. The last 6 months however, I have barely been crossfitting and absolutely no running. To to tackle this is really exciting and epically scary.

Life has been a real struggle this past year. Getting married, new house, sick in-laws, sick family, depression/anxiety, and the death of one of the most important people in my life. I have been on a downward spiral. Running really helped me the last time I was going through a rough time, I pray it will this time as well.

So anyway....

I plan on documenting the training, the eating, the fuel, the wods, and all the stuff in between. Sometimes I may even do a video. The plan is to really be present and enjoy this whole experience.

Stick with me
