Dear Internet,

Today I took the first step down a long, arduous path which will hopefully end with me competing in the 2007 New York City Marathon.  By enrolling in a 2 year membership in NYC Road Runners Club, I have secured myself a position in next year's race.

Of course I could also "win" a lottery place in this year's marathon but that's another story. 

I am not a marathon runner.  I am not even a recreational runner.  I am just a guy with a dream and a few good friends who have pledged to help me achieve it.

My name is Patrick. Welcome to my online diary.
