I made it official and signed up for the Cleveland Marathon. I was procrastinating on registration: what if my interest dwindled? But I decided that, if anything, the registration looming over me in addition to the sense of duty that I feel to this plan I have created would carry me to the starting line.

Time will tell, but today's run felt great. I think I could have gone for another mile or two, but I limited myself to the long run planned for this week. I didn't feel gassed at all when I stopped, which is different for me.

I am pumped for the future; I will do everything I can to make it to that starting line.
