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 22 - Thanksgiving

Went to sleep at 2 am yesterday night. NB called at 7.30 am and then at 8.30 am pestering me to go for a walk with her. Relented and started at 9.15 am. Covered 3.2 miles in 50 minutes. NB covered 4.6 miles as she came to my apt first. For the first time I can say, the site she mentioned earlier IS a really cool site, it helps you map the distance you covered and many other things, haven't explored it fully yet. I'll try to put the link at someplace very noticeable on the blog http://www.mapmyrun.com/.
