Marathon Bound

I'm gearing up for the 26 week training schedule I'll begin on July 18th to prepare for the PF Chang's Full Marathon on January 16, 2012.  When I ran the 1/2 Marathon in 2010, I had some serious IT Band issues just a few weeks prior to the race.  I'm stretching diligently before and after every run this time so hopefully I won't encounter that problem again. Wish me luck!  I'll be posting updates as my training progresses.
