30 for 30

I am finally committing to what I've said for years: I WILL run a marathon this year before my 30th birthday.

I am sick of my on again-off again bouts of fitness. I want to commit once and for all. I realize a marathon in as huge a fitness commitment as one can get into, but I need to man up, STFU, and… wait for it… just do it! (pun totally intended, and you fell for it, suckers)

So, I'll check in and report progress for accountability's sake, although check out my reading list to see how well that method has proved thus far (major side eye). Spoiler alert: it has not worked very well at all. 

I did just buy some sick fluorescent, crazy neon yellow Asics that set me back a pretty penny. I hope that at least gets my ass out on the pavement often. In addition to a smokin' bod for the summer too, that would be nice.
