I am a first time marathon runner...and of all the marathons in the world that I could have chosen as my first...I chose the NYC ING Marathon. So in just over 66 days, I will put my mind, body and soul to the test as I set out to run 26.2 miles throughout the 5 boroughs on New York City.

For the next 65 days, I will take to my blog to capture the lessons that I am learning (and earning) along my journey. Specifically, I will relate my lessons to leadership development, goal setting, determination, strategic planning, success and failure.

Most importantly, I am running 26.2 miles for charity. I am one of 4 volunteers who comprise the Alliance for a Healthier Generation team (www.healthiergeneration.org). Their mission is fight the onset epidemic of childhood obesity. I am super excited and honored to bring more awareness to this issue especially for children who live in urban neighborhoods but do not get enough regular exercise and do not have access to a variety of healthy food choices.

So please join me for this incredible journey! If you want to donate, I would be honored for you partner with me and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation via my crowdrise website at www.crowdrise.com/karenrenaeowens

Until next time,

Karen
