Welcome to my training blog. I've been posting my mileage and thought here as I participate in a marathon training program that started in June and takes me right up to the marathon: through 18 weeks, 435 miles, and countless Calories. Check back whenever you're interested to know more about my training milestones and challenges!

I've partnered with Center for Independent Futures, a non-profit organization which offers progressive programming aimed at giving individuals with disabilities access to the skills and opportunities to realize a full life. Please help support my fundraising and donate to CIF.

If you're still feeling flush after helping me reach my fundraising goal, there are a few things I could use myself for my running. Here's my wishlist.

Yoga, huh?

I've decided to participate in a weekly yoga class as my cross training activity (most marathon training programs I've read suggest doing a non-running activity to mitigate the amount of high-impact exercise). My hope is that the increased flexibility and tendon strength yoga can provide will be a sort of active first-aid as I run my ass off for the next couple month. Woot, let's hear it for no injures!

Anyway, the Chicago Park District offers all kinds of programs and I have found a $3 yoga class. Score. Tonight was my first time and it was really nice, through and through.
