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??

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 81 - I am so sore!!!

I had intended to skip writing the blog today as there is nothing different from what NB has put down.
But got off the couch and realised how difficult it was. In my 80 days of marathon preparation, I have never been so sore. The only reason I can think of is that I didnt stretch after the long run (if it was a long run!) yesterday. I felt a little sore yesterday but I thought it would go away after the walk today, but no, it has got worse, I can hardly walk and switching positions is a pain :(
I was planning to take a rest day on tuesday, but the way things look, I may have to do that tomorrow. Awwww, legs hurt!!!!
