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??

Day 13

W3D2 of C25k,4.7mph for 90 sec with 90 sec at 3.7mph, then 4.7mph for 3min followed by 3.7 mph for 3min, repeated twice with a cool down of 5 min.
Wasnt able to do the last 3 min at 4.7mph,stopped because started feeling a tightness in the right lower leg, like a tourniquet and then felt as if I was dragging the right leg.Dont think its shin splints but its OK, will do it next time.
Stretching and strengthening tomorrow.
