My first blogging experience was in 2010. I was training for my first marathon and thought it would be great to have a record of my training. My first marathon was the 2500th anniversary of the original marathon. I ran the route from Marathon to Athens that Pheidipiddes had run in 490 BC. Running into the Panathenaic Stadium at the end of the marathon where the first modern day Olympic marathon had finished was one of the biggest highlights of my life. Not only did I keep a record of my training on my blog, but I was able to post to my blog during my trip and, therefore, kept family and friends up to date on my adventures.
I am still running today and have completed 2 more marathons, including one on my 50th birthday. I run a lot of half marathons now, as well as shorter races. I work full time as a controller and am taking courses to become an accounting technician. I am on my second marriage and have 3 grown children, 2 step-children and 5 grandchildren.
Since this is my first post, I will sign off now to keep it short. I welcome any comments. Enjoy your weekend.
