Why not ramble on the internet, everybody and their dog does it. Why not record my training journey to running a marathon. Why not record bits of my life that probably I would like to remember, like aspects of being a parent, musings, nitty gritty of life, mountains out of molehills, micro-tragedies and macro-joys, who said what etcetera This blog is for the purpose of recording my marathon training, because honestly I am really inadequate at holding diaries and journals, and a blog seems more intuitive and without much filter.
