This one is going to be tricky. I’ve found some tips for beginners in running that seem fairly helpful. It’s going to be very easy for me to blame school for not running, but if I really want this then there is no reason to make excuses. I’ll only be letting myself down. So far I can walk 5 minutes, run 20, and walk 5. It’s a good start, but I need to do it more often. The marathon I have decided to train for is Esther Pauls’ Race for Haiti which will happen next October. This way I can do the bulk of race-specific training in the warmer, dryer months. In the mean time I will continue to do my palates 5 days a week and substitute this with a 30 minute walk or run every so often.

The estimated date of graduation on this one is January 2009! That’s not nearly as far off as I thought it would be. I need 51 credits and will probably be taking one course (3 credits) a semester (3 months). If I take 2 summer courses every year that leaves me at 4.25 years to finish. If I ever double up for a semester, with an elective per say, I can shave 3 months of my time! Good luck to me.

I know this one will be next to impossible to complete without a plan. I’ve found a website that maps out the bible in a one year reading plan. This plan may take me two years to complete but I will finish it.
