Probably crazy

Well, I probably am insane. I signed up for my first marathon. I have wanted to do one since after Caitlin was born (4 years ago) and then the kids kept pouring in. Right now I am working up to beginner status. I do about 2 miles each night. I'll start increasing in February once I have a good mileage base.
I choose to do the Detroit Marathon because it is close to family, has a cool border crossing aspect, and is in October-giving me 9 months to train. I invited my sister to join me, she was a little non-commital. David said he would try if he finished his school project... he has not worked on it since ;)
My goal is just finishing. No time goal. Detroit is about 4.5 hours away. Wanna join me?

Welcome to my world (by which I mean the crazy world, not the running world)!

That is awesome Emily! I want to run again, period, after having my baby! I don't think I'll join you, but I would totally come cheer you on! I would love to see you and David and your little one's when you're here!

I am more into running 1/2 marathons right now, but I have had this nagging desire to run the Detroit Marathon one day. Let me know how it goes.
