6 months over, 6 months left.

Done with half the journey to our goal of marathon.
In these 6 months, we have done:

1. Started running, even tho its interspersed with walking, atleast we are moving regularly.
2. Finished a 5K
3. Signed up for a half , coming up in 3 days.
4. Woken up early every Saturday for the long runs.

Not done:
1. Lost any weight.
2. Still do not have a good cross-training program.
3. Speed is still an issue, or maybe not, since all I have been reading lately on the completerunning/coolrunning sites is advice for newbies to run slow.

Small goals for the next 6 months:
1. Decide on the program to follow from Jeff Galloway's book 'Marathon'.
2. Read up on nutrition and follow a good healthy eating plan.
3. Incorporate a regular stretching, strenghtening, cross-training program.
4. Run 4 days a week instead of 3 , the way we were doing so far, I think I have the capacity to run/walk more.
