In 10 weeks I am going to run in the Portland Marathon!!
They have a 5 mile run that I am going to do.

I am going from nothing to 5 miles, increasing my mileage every week.
Any advice for me?

I plan on taking some more photos this week, and then some in 10 weeks!

Would anyone who lives in Portland like to run with me once a week?

I'm not so sure what to do with this yet.

I want to start running again soon, like four or five days a week. I am afraid to run by myself with my new music player at night in my neighborhood, and I don't think I can wake up early enough to run because I can't fall asleap early enough to be awake.

I was thinking I might be able to make a deal with someone with a dog to run with. Maybe I could make some money ($5? $10? each time), have a dog to protect me (or feel like it is), and have a schedule where I have to walk or run at a certian time each evening/night.

I also need to get good music ready on the mp3 player. It can only hold about 200 songs, and I would like to have the first 30 minutes of songs set so I can have a warm up routine and see just how many songs past the 30 minutes I can go.
