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??

Day4 pm

We had our cousins over for lunch and it was GBs great idea to get a humungus Tiramisu cake for dessert. No prizes for guessing what happened, after gorging ourselves with the lunch, we then inhaled the cake. The couple kept looking at us in awe mixed with probably disgust as we ate plate after plate of the cake. Well, atleast it was good.
So for damage control we walked 2 miles at a snails pace and vowed, firstly not to have dinner tonite and then not to buy a dessert cake atleast till the end of this month. Notice I did not mention pies.
No, seriously, no more scarfing cakes and pies, try and decrease the intake of sugar. Research states that sugar ages you and affects the joints by making them stiff and weak.So TRY to eat right now.
NB.
