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.

Thank you

Caroline, David, Ken, thanks for all your encouraging comments and guiding remarks. Being a former couch potato and a complete newbie to the world of running, I am sometimes at a loss to understand where I am going. With NB away for 3 weeks, I am trying to keep myself motivated, telling myself repeatedly that I can do it.
David, I watched the PBS Nova Marathon challenge. It was very interesting, informative, and inspiring. Thanks for Hal Hidgon's and passionforrunning urls.
I am planning to do a 5k, but to be honest, I feel I am not fit enough, and maybe, just maybe, I am scared. Just waiting for NB to return and push me to do it.
If by any chance I complete a marathon, the whole credit will go to NB and to you all to keep me going. Left by myself, I'll just endup on the couch watching tv

You are welcome!!! I am inspired by you and have started working out again using crossfit.com to guide my exercises. I can't run anymore (knee surgery went really well though!) but I'll live vicariously through you. :)
