Training
Sep 30 2009 08:31

Training for the marathon is going great so far. Nothing too serious... I've been doing my usual spin classes and just running a few miles at a time. I just feel so great after running! I could get used to this again.

I'm hoping to get a dog soon. Not a puppy, because I don't have the time to train one, but I've been looking on craigslist for an older dog - 2 or 3 years old - that still has plenty of energy and years left to spend with Ian and me. I want a dog that I can take to Town Lake and Zilker and take to the lake in the summer and play with! And someone to keep me company when I'm alone.

Nothing too exciting going on... I'm just feeling great about this marathon.

Austin Marathon
Sep 25 2009 19:38

I have been wanting to do a marathon for a long time now, and now that I'm having somewhat of a break from school, I think it's finally a good time to begin training for the 2010 Austin Marathon!

The marathon is February 14, so that gives me about 5.5 months to work my way up to 26.2. I'm quite a seasoned runner, so 24 weeks or so will give me plenty of time to train and train properly! I plan to start on Monday, and I have a running/rest schedule all mapped out for myself.

I am ready to do this! For my health, for my own personal satisfaction, and last but not least, for my weight loss! I plan to use the CC journal to document my training to an extent for my own records.

Wish me luck!
