Today was the first actual day of the rifle class. We started learning the basics of the M4, which is a carbine version of M16. Basically, M4 is what they use in urban warfare, like in the middle east. It was surprisingly heavy and disappointing at the same time. Thanks to violent R rated movies, the gun didn't look "real," because I've seen it in movies. (I know that made little sense, but I associate movie things with fake things.)
But despite Hollywood ruining some of the excitement, I still felt really cool. And because I felt so cool and powerful, I decided to bite the bullet and actually sign up for a marathon in May. I threatened my bf with the gun to make him register for the marathon with me. J.K. He agreed before I had to resort to that.

| I can't believe I'm actually registered for the marathon! |
Since I can't afford a running coach, I'm going to have to start looking online and asking you guys about tips on training and fueling.

| Hopefully we'll still be smiling on May 20th. |
I can't wait to embark on my marathon training journey! Hopefully with you guys's help, I can stay motivated and sane through out the process!
