Only 72 days left!

Wow, time is flying. It seems it was just yesterday that I asked Curtis at Innovative if there was any room left for me to register for the New York Marathon. Innovative had encouraged me to go for a Marathon - if you don't know much about Innovative Fitness - they're all about goal setting.

Anyhow, I had gone with them to the Honolulu Marathon in early December 2007. I went as a spectator / cheerleader / what-is-this-all-about / finish-line-beer-opener. When I was there, it was such an emotional event to watch - I thought it might be something I want to do myself. Then, as I was vacationing back in Hawaii with my family in early January 2008, I started to think about what fitness goals I wanted to accomplish this year. I guess I had a Coronoa or two and got my BlackBerry out and sent this off to Curtis -
