This is a wonderful question, one for which I wish I had a more satisfactory answer.
I know an awful lot of people who run in memory of others or to raise money for a charity. I am not doing it for these reasons (though I hope to some day run Boston for charity, but that's a different story for a different time).
I'm much more selfish than that. I am running this for me. I am doing this to see if I can. If I can't, well then I'll go down in spectacular flames.
Running a marathon isn't something I think sounds particularly enjoyable, I don't think it will be an especially fun event, but it's a challenge. I want to push myself to see what I am capable of.
I figure at this point, it's pretty much now or never. I'm at a time in my life where I have the time to train and I have a great support group around me to help out (information on them coming very shortly).
