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 20

Weights and stretches for 30 min.

No running today but I found an awesome site http://www.mapmyrun.com/ I have to spend some time on it to use it more easily but I did map out a frequent route that I walked previously, I thought it was 3 and 1/2 miles or so, it is actually 5 miles!!. So this is another site I will be going to more often, Never knew it would be so easy to map my route. It is free registration so thats a bonus, I had thought I would have to buy one of those fancy gadgets to know how much I am running.They have a feature by which one can transport the map to the blog and hopefully this weekend I will have GB transport a few routes to our blog.
