Marathon Preparation - From couch to 26.2 miles

365 days, 1 year, 2 inactive bored sisters, one thinks any goal is too small for her, the other wants to try everything but is not sure where to start. So Ok, the challenge- run the first full marathon within 365 days. Start date: Nov 1st 2007 End date : Nov 1st 2008. Will we be able to do it??

OUR GOAL - NIKE WOMEN'S MARATHON (OCT 19, 2008)

Nov 1, 2007-------------->FEB - 9Mleft--------------->MAY - Completed Half Marathon!!!! 6Mleft---------------->AUG - 3Mleft--------------->Oct 19, 2008 -D DAY!!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - We were able to complete, yes complete :) the Nike Marathon - our first marathon - in about 6 hrs 40 mins.Our next goal - Lose weight!!! 36 pounds in 365 days - a lofty one considering that even the marathon training couldn't help us lose a few of the extra pounds.

Day of insecurities, woke up and felt cold in the chest, whole body aching, first thought 'is this the flu?'And then-it is to be expected because had made a decision to start a new habit and this is the first hurdle'.
Went for another short walk in the warm sun while the dtr played soccer.Ate a hot bowl of rice and beans and now am ready to face anything.
Got 'The complete book of running' published by Runners World and read the introduction , hopefully will move too instead of just reading the book.
