One Week Since the New Year and I Decide a Marathon is a Good Idea :)

Since I became an avid runner, I have always aspired to run a marathon. I ran a half marathon in the fall of 2009 and have run other road races since my four year running career in high school. I originally thought the first marathon I would run would be in Disney World, but when the opportunity to run the Sun Trust Marathon in Washington D.C. was presented to me, I jumped on the opportunity; a week into the New Year, and have now decided to blog about my training adventure :)

This is the course map for the marathon:
