The rumors are true

Sara Schedler is running a marathon.

Why?

Well..... got a minute?



In my quest for personal fitness (please don't laugh), I agree to things that may seem a little, well, much.



A few months ago, my boss Teresa and I were talking about our athletic conquests. In that conversation, she mentioned that she had done a marathon. I was impressed. Being a big wimp myself I thought, there is no way....

Alas, I was compelled by the adorable face of Bailey Rommelfanger, Teresa's nephew. Bailey has epilepsy (read his story at www.teambaileyforepilepsy.com). I agreed to run to help raise money for CURE, an organization that supports epilepsy research. As a mom and a nurse, I knew that if anything was going to motivate me to run this far, it would be a child (and a cute one)!

That's the long and short of it.

In this blog, I will share my battles with the pavement, my knees, and my mind as I train for the 2008 Lakefront Marathon. Should be interesting.....

Until next time,

Sara
