Today I started training for the Top of Utah marathon that I'm going to run in next year. I have been inspired by Angela, Rich, and Monica. I only ran three miles tonight, but it's a start. It took me like 40 minutes, I thought I had gone a little more than three miles, but I guess not. I only got chased by one dog, but got barked at by like 15. There are way too many dogs in my neighborhood. Have I ever mentioned that I'm not a big fan of dogs!?
I jogged the entire way, and I felt great! I probably could have kept going, but it was getting dark and I was alone........so I guess you could call me a scaredy cat. I think I'm going to get a membership to a gym so that I can keep training throughout the winter.
