The Next Step in the Journey

I chose the name of this blog ("A Journey of Many Steps") because in anything we do in life - there is a progression of small steps to reach the goal. In that light, I have taken the next step in my progression towards the Ironman. This morning I registered for the 2008 Columbus Marathon. The date will be Sunday October 19th and the distance will be 26.2 miles.

I will be doing the usual walks during the next few months as the weather allows. April will be the start of my training program. I have set up a schedule similar to the one I followed last year for the Half Marathon. I will be slowly increasing the mileage from week to week. This will peak at two 20 mile walks in September. The distance still seems unreachable but the 10 milers seemed that way last summer. I really look forward to the training and taking the next step.
