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??

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.

Day 32

W6D1 of C25k,5min running, 3walking,8R,3W,5R,5W.
Cant tell the speed because the treadmill went out of whack yesterday, I cant walk at even 3.7mph-its too fast, so it needs to be adjusted. Has to be done before the weekend because I will be doing my long weekend walk on it because the husband is again working throughout the weekend. Also will have to rent out a movie to watch while working the treadmill, already feel like a hamster.

Was going over the marathon goal, our goal is SFM on Aug 3rd, but the husband has applied for 2 weeks vacation during that time period so may not be able to keep that date,may have to look for one in Sept/Oct-well it does give us more time. Lets see.
