Yes, I've finally done it.  Started a blog.  Initially I will do this to track my training for my very first marathon.  As things evolve, this blog may or may not evolve, or it may disappear into cyberspace when I get bored with it.  At any rate, I hope my brother (marathoner, ultra-marathoner, and who knows what else, 
extraordinaire) will pop in once in awhile and offer some coaching advice.
