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 47

5W/10R/2W/10R/2W/2Rx4/Wto 45 min.

Not my day today, just could not run after 10 min ,wanted to stop 15 min into the session but kept on. Dont know why, ate Ok last night, no pain, no breathing problems, had 'the incredibles' on which I had wantd to watch, had taken water 30 min before. So I dont know what went wrong today.
Did the long walk outside on Sat-realised its difficult to do alone, got bored , GB ditched me this time. Weather was good. Felt Ok thruout but need someone to do it with me.
Getting ready for the vacation-thats a seperate stress added to the normal day.
