Running is flexible and accessible, financially and time-wise, and I can choose my teammates! As to marathoning - for me, personally, it's also an age goal thing. I want to try it once before I'm 40. I want to do it well and injury-free, so I'm also aiming for 2006. Nothing like a big goal to keep the training happening!

Also encouragement from runners I admire has given me confidence I lacked before. As for "Super Size Me" I haven't been to Mcd's since I watched it.
