Addiction, or just plain NUTZ?

So, winter is here, I am back in the gym, but am desperately seeking a goal. I can't just work out and be "ok" with that, I need something to work for! Some of my training partners have decided to do the inaugural Illinois Marathon in April.....yes, that's right, a marathon. What's one more in less than a year? I am craving a goal to work for, and this just seems to fall or shall I say "fit" right into what I need right now. The last few months have been stressful, and I need an outlet to displace my insignificant mental blocks. This should be perfect. Marathon trainings starts next week, perfect timing! It should keep the holiday weight off, keep my mind focused, and give me something to work for before next years Triathlon season starts. So, stay tuned...I'm off on another adventure - cold weather and all - because we are training OUTSIDE!!!!
