The Publix Georgia Marathon is just one month away and it is time to give away a race entry to someone that is ready and able to run either the 13.1 or 26.2 distance.  If you are in training and can be ready to run one of these distances in a months time continue to read as there is a very good chance that you will have an opportunity to run the 2013 Publix Georgia Marathon for free!

As I mentioned in my last post, I once again this year will not be able to run.  I have been running off and on, but continue to revisit the injury that has been haunting me for nearly two years now.  I am a stubborn runner, but I have finally, yes finally, made a physical therapy appointment for tomorrow.  I am ready to get this calf fixed for good so next year I can be talking about my training here on the blog.
