After training for 5 months, my first marathon is this Sunday. 

Back in June I set the goal to run 26.2 miles in the Columbus Marathon.  Through the past 5 months I have training through illness, injury, heat, rain and lack of motivation and finally on Sunday I can cross ”running a marathon” off my bucket list! 

Now a small set back …  just days before the race, I came down with the flu.  I have been batteling it since Monday.  Today I am finally back at work, but even my Doctor told me I won’t be up to full strength by Sunday.  It has been tough to accept, I would like to put in my best effort in Columbus, but now I guess I will just have to settel for crossing the finish line.  Though, after months of training I am fine with just participating and finishing my first marathon.  

Next week I will post pics of the run.
