The best thing about running is you just need to keep doing it to get better.
I have been running for 2 years now and am doing my first full marathon Sunday in OKC. I am excited and nervous as hell.
My fitness goals this year are to run the marathon with an 8:00 mile avg, bench press 315 (I already did 300 which was my original goal and tied a PR) and get my 5K time under 20:00 (PR is 20:46).
