The Game Plan

Okay, with 13 weeks until the marathon, I had to come up with a plan for training. I've posted it in the sidebar -- I'm bit nervous about the longer runs that I am scheduled to do during the week, with work and everything, I've really got to make the time. As it is, I wake up at 4:45 am every day and this is just allows me to do up to 6 miles, we'll see what happens when I reach days that I have to run longer distances.

In addition to the runs, interval training, weight training and yoga/pilates that I'll be doing, I need to work on the diet. I hope to come up a plan for that soon. I do know that I want to lose about 5 pounds in the next couple of weeks, I think being a bit lighter will improve the running.

It's Official!

I am signed up for a the Marines Corps Marathon to be held on October 26, 2008. Not only am I running to achieve my personal goal, but I'm running to support the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!

Let the training begin and the donations come in! To see my St. Jude Heroes page and help me go beyond my $1,000 fundraising goal, click here.
