Start training for the Baton Rouge marathon tomorrow…yay!! I figure this will keep me on track with studying for the CPA exam!
I managed to complete a full marathon and I am very happy I did it! Next time I want to really RUN the marathon from start to finish without walking a single step.

I’ve run plenty of 5ks, 10ks, I recently re-discovered my joy in running.
So, one beer influenced evening, a friend and I set a goal. A marathon in November, starting training 1 month ago.
I intend to run a couple of 5ks, 10ks and maybe a half between now and then. But, I feel really confident i can do this, I just turned 34, fit as a fiddle (although very tired today).
Also, boyfriend supportive.

So I have really made this goal a priority. I didn’t plan on it at all but I just ran (jogged) over 8 miles! I usually do 3 max. I am so proud of myself but I do have a big blister to show for it. Next week I will try to do 8.5 :)

I know this is a big one. I have been stalling mentally committing myself to this but I think its time. I am physically and mentally stable enough to begin training. I have no date yet but the intention is now set.
The first practice is May 17, 2008. They’ll time us on 3 miles. I began walk/runs last year and completed two half marathons. However, I am very slow at an 18 minute mile.
Between now and May 17, I am dieting and working a lot of cardio. My hope is that the test will have me at a 16 minute mile.
The first annual Rock N Roll Marathon is November 16, 2008. I plan on registering soon to cement this goal.
My first marathon. My time was 5 hrs and 26 min which isn’t very fast but I finished – injury free. I can’t wait to start looking forward to my next one.
My marathon is this Sunday and I couldn’t feel better about it. Of course I’ll be nervous because it’s my first one, but I have trained and I feel confident that I will at least complete it.
It’s going to feel great to check this off my list since I have tried twice to run marathons and never completed the training program and therefore not ran. (San Diego in June 2006 and Atlanta in 2006). What a great way to start 2008!
