I'm starting this blog to get to know everyone and to find out what inspires each of you to stay in shape.

I'm a Physical Education Teacher in New York and I keep in shape for myself, but also to set a good example for my students.

What are your inspirations and goals?

Leave a comment with your answer. I'd love to hear from you, and you never know someone else might have the same inspiration.

Hey everyone sorry it took so long to post a new blog after the last. Even time I run a race I learn something new about myself and the people around me. First I have to say congrats to Melba and her husband for running the marathon. Remember only .1 of the world's population has completed a marathon. 

 Thursday January 10^th 2008

            One year after the day that we booked this trip to Disney World for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, I sit here waiting before we head off to the health and fitness expo at the Disney Wide World of Sports Resort. As time ticks down I start to think about the challenge I’ve set before myself. 39.3 miles in 2 days is a pretty daunting task.

So its Wednesday Jan. 9th about 3 days away from Disney's Goofy Challenge. I'm writing this, because I love to see how something like a marathon changes a person before and after. Before and after every marathon I've run, I like to write something down to figure out how I feel. I've run 3 marathons, all the New York City ING Marathons since 2005. My first marathon was amazing. The pain from it was incredible, however it took me days to put into words the way I actually felt.
