It's Official - I have registered for my FIRST MARATHON!

It has been a long time coming with multiple injuries to sideline me, but it is now finally official - I have chosen, and registered for my first marathon!

The Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon on November 14th 2009, will be my first official marathon.  I am very excited as this has been a very long time coming.  I ran my first Half Marathon back in February of 2008 and was planning my first Marathon later that year.  That was before my trip-up and broken collarbone that took me out of the running scene for 8 months.

I also registered for my next half marathon in the process.  The ING Marathon is starting a new Half Marathon series called 13.1 Marathon and the first time it will be in Atlanta is October 4th 2009.

I will be looking into training schedules soon, but I know I am well on my way to being ready.  I just need to make sure I stay focused and injury free.
