About
My name is Noel, I live in Jacksonville, Florida and this is my running blog.
I created this blog to document my first marathon experience, keep me motivated and help me stick to my training. This website also aims to help other novice runners like myself prepare for their first ever marathon. Before I go any further, I just want to say that I am by NOT an expert runner. Everything that I will write here will be based on my own experience and opinion. The training, preparation, gear, diet, etc. that I will mention might have worked for me but it does not mean that they will work for you. Please consult a doctor or an expert runner if you need expert advice or before you start running. My objective is to just offer something which a beginner runner can relate to; a running buddy if you will.
Run A Marathon Before You Die came straight off from my own personal bucket list. A bucket list is a list of things that you would want to do/accomplish before you die. Running a marathon has always been one of those items in the list that I am not sure if I will ever accomplish. To be honest, I actually thought about backing out right after I submitted the registration for the Disney Marathon. But it is too late to back out now, we will just have to wait and see. Fail or succeed, I hope to learn a lot from this journey.
