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.

Nov21-Nov30

No loss again, however, no gain either after having those two big slices of pie.
A bit disappointed, could be due to anything; I didnt run as much, maybe I am not as good with the logging of food intake, maybe it will show up as negative next month. So only 2 pound loss for November 2008, instead of the goal of 3. Thats OK, I will take it.

Goals for Dec 1-Dec 10:
- R/W 5 days a week.
- Try again with the free weights, hadnt started because in the back of mind is the fact that when I do start weight lifting, I might gain some weight in 4-6 weeks due to increase in muscle mass etc; I know, weak argument, so get back to it.
- Add a fruit a day; in the last one month have had only 2 pears and 1 banana- in the whole one month!!! So goal is one fruit a day- pear/banana/grapes/apples- I dont like apples.

This is harder than I thought.
