Welcome

This new blog is designed to track (and motivate me to track) my running progress as I train for my first marathon - the Portland (OR) Marathon on Oct 7th. I've been "running" for the past 10 years - you know, five miles this week twelve miles the next kind of stuff. I decided in February to do the Portland Marathon and have made some decent progress since then. But I may have hit a wall and need an extra push...
