20 weeks till Marathon...

Jun 10, 2012

 So I am setting up my running journal and have exactly 20 weeks till the Rock N Roll Marathon in October. Last week I ran 6 miles (3, 2 mile runs) testing out the waters. lol So I am now taking it seroiusly and going to try to run mon-fri and save sunday for my "long" runs. I'm excited because I've always wanted to run a marathon and after reading up on it, I feel I CAN condition myself to be ready for it. (Big shout out to ABC Brown for telling me about it!)
Every morning I'm getting up early and running. 2 miles at first, then adding 10% more every week. I feel like I need to do this, I need to push myself and get across that finish line. Its exciting and I'm excited. I'm going to start planning out my meals and uping my calories. If the rest of my "clinging for dear life" weight comes off and I get to goal, that will be a plus, but mostly I'm doing this for me. 
I remember when I went to the Dr's and they said I had worse knees than a 60 year old due to being overweight my WHOLE life and now, I'm training for a marathon. Freaking awesome. 
I'm just so proud of myself and looking forward to the future. There's a lot of life out there I NEED to live and I'm ready for it.
Big shout out to my peeps on here, supporting me and others.
