Inaugural Running Post!

Hello my fellow runners! I have been reading running blogs of many of you for several months now, and from all the inspiration I was able to draw from many bloggers out there, I wanted to (hopefully) give a little of that inspiration back to the running community.

I've been running for about a year now, but I am NOT one of those success stories you read about in Runners World where I miraculously trained for three months and then qualified for the Boston Marathon during my very first marathon. I am a beginner, and I haven't even run a marathon yet! I've been a 5K-er, and I am signed up for my first 10-K at Giralda Farms in New Jersey on Nov. 14. Fingers crossed I actually finish!

As I've been running more, I found so much comfort and support in reading about other beginning runners. The two ladies whose blogs I frequent are Christina from Lace it Up and run and MJ from Girl Running. Since they have been so kind to share their half-marathon journeys, I'm hoping to do the same.

Oh, and one last thing. I am not shy about complaining about my runs, be it the weather on the run, my slowness--you name it, I'll tell you about it:)

XOXO,
Cheryl
