I’ll be running a minimum of a 5k or for 25 minutes every day in the month of December. I get some seasonal depression this time of year and Marcothon helps me make a personal commitment to myself to get outside every day and move my body while combatting some seasonal depression. I’ve also learned a lot of lessons in the process of running Marcothon. I’ve decided that this year I’ll be posting about my journey every day on youtube and here on the blog sharing with anyone who wants to follow along with the ups and downs of this personal challenge.

Starting Marcothon with the worst cold I’ve had all year was disappointing to say the least.  It made the challenge extra challenging, but I figured I would feel cruddy if I ran or not, so I might as well run. And that’s what I did even though the first 12 days I was really sick.
