2012 NYC Marathon Training Journal

I had started by logging my daily marathon training on our Iron Physical Therapy Facebook page but realized that didn't provide enough space for me to share some of the thoughts, feelings and insights I've had along the way. I'll start by briefly catching you up on the last five days, but from here on out, I'm excited to use the blog as my daily running journal.
