Blog Test

So this is my test of writing a blog for my journey towards running and finishing the Chicago Marathon. This is somethig that started, subconsciously, on April 8th, 2012. I have/had been training for the Chicago Marathon since January 1, 2012, but with the restaurant opening, my training efforts have been put on pause. My thought process is that by writing a journal, accessable for the world to see, there are more eyes on me to finish. This had to start today, as its 167 days away, and I can't afford to waste any more days towards training. Today was a 3 mile run on my hampsterwheel, at 11:30 pm, as mother nature, and my bad sleeping habits, have got the best of me and kept me from a morning run. Times aren't of importance for me but keeping track of how my body is responding to different things, from foods, to liquids, sleep patterns, emotional thoughts, to hopefully having worry free painless runs. Today there was expected pain in my shins, from lower knee to top of foot, nothing I couldn't run through but definately issues needed to be addressed in near future. Lets see what the road ahead treats me like.
