So you're going to run a marathon...

In an effort to NOT let myself fall into the "I'm almost 30 and blah!" slump, I've decided to run a marathon. Yesterday I made the decision, registered and paid (before I could change my mind) and committed to a training plan.

Baseball season left me tired, stressed,depressed, angry, eating junk food, and skipping workouts. It was a vicious cycle of getting to bed late or eating junk for dinner due to lack of time and missing workout and feeling guilty about it...and so on. Two and a half months of that has caught up to me. I'm sore, cranky, tired, and fat.

Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.

So here it goes. My second night of training looked like this though:

June+Colorado = fire. Remember last summer?

To track my progress I'm going to write some stuff down here, officially (as embarrassing as it is):

Starting weight at the beginning of marathon training= 124 (last time I checked, about a week ago)

Starting pace at the beginning of marathon training= 12:24 avg mile time

Wow. Lotsa' work to be done.......Syonara!
