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??

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

Went for a long walk today with GB interspersed with a few minutes of running. Approx. 5 miles. So this was the LSD for the week which I would have missed on Sat. because the husband is working through the weekend. Weather was beautiful, sunny, not cold, and we saw a blue jay which is supposed to be lucky. And it doesnt hurt that I can eat atleast one piece of the pumpkin pie without guilt.
Day off tomorrow.
