So yesterday, on the way home from work, I saw a billboard for the Los Angeles Marathon.

I've been really unhappy with the shape that I've been in, and my lack of activity, my weight, the list goes on.

So I was thinking that maybe I need to work towards some other goal, one that is not directly related to me being heavy. Something a little more inspiring than just "eating right" or a broad as "get in shape" and I thought, why not train for a marathon?

So I'm going to put some thought and research into this. I'm not sure if shooting for next year's LA Marathon is too ambitious or not. I wouldn't want to push myself too much or risk injury.

But there ya go. New plan. New thing to focus on.

So, the advice question... What do you think? Suggestions?
