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 56

I am still on vacation, and yes I am trying to run.
I ran 2miles in 1/2 hour followed by walking to complete 5 miles on the 22 dec and 24 dec, inbetween walked for 45 min , so continuous 4 days of R/W. Took the 26th and 27th off due to travellin and now will try to R/W tomorrow again.Best part was my husband was doing the session with me and he just couldnot believe when I ran continuous 1/2 hour with him even tho it was a shuffle at 4.2-.3 mph.
Read thru GBs posts and comments, thanks guys for the vote of confidence and yes GB and NB will surely finish what they have started-those must be my vacation endorphins speaking.
