I'm not crazy and would never even let the word marathon pass my lips, but seriously, I have to try this. Got my new sneakers this weekend and my running bag in the office so i have no excuse not to run after work. thanks for the support! really.Professor Tharpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714326142739366426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-80938730744921215082010-02-21T08:24:11.220-08:002010-02-21T08:24:11.220-08:00WOW!!! How awesome is that!! Keep updating on how ...WOW!!! How awesome is that!! Keep updating on how it is going.<br /><br />I like the Runner's World dot com training plans. There is a Smart Coach link, and you type in your variables and it gives you a plan. Of course, I rarely actually follow the plan, but it gives you a framework, anyway. Also, Hal Higdon is great and non intimidating for beginners. Pick up one of his books.<br /><br />I started by walk/running two miles at time. And I hate the cold, too. The treadmill is a Midwestern girl's best friend.<br /><br />YOU CAN DO THIS!!! I'm rooting for you all the way.Waiting for Zufan!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00251869333168942963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-57399415424485018622010-02-16T17:26:20.960-08:002010-02-16T17:26:20.960-08:00All,
Thank you so much for your support. Really, ...All,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your support. Really, I mean it. I'm really good at starting exercise goals and not finishing. Now that I know you all believe in me (sorry to go all Sally Field on you) it's going to be that much harder to quit. Harder, but not impossible. But I want to do this. For me. To prove to myself that I can handle a physical challenge.Professor Tharpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714326142739366426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-6114788021078005012010-02-16T14:02:28.353-08:002010-02-16T14:02:28.353-08:00Well, setting the goal is the first step--and you&...Well, setting the goal is the first step--and you've done that.

I think its great that you are gearing up for an 8k. My hubby and I did one in December, in the rain, with 3 days of training and loved it. We plan on doing more this year. The atmosphere at the races is so inspiring and the other runners really encourage you to finish the race. It's really awesome experience. You'll love it.<br /><br /> As for working out,I really can't speak on it because, I too, am ADD when it comes to exercising out. Although I've been pretty consistent for the last 3 weeks( okay, the last 2 weeks)using Wii Activ. The cool thing is that you will get a different workout everytime, so you wont get bored. Be warned that this workout is NOT A JOKE. By the end of my workout I often find myself cussing my animated instructor out. Not proud of that just being honest. So if you have a Wii check it out. <br /><br />Oh, it's the latest version that doesn't need the balance board.

Wish I could join you...but not sure if I can afford the new sneakers, workout clothes, registration cost, etc. Perhaps next year!<br /><br />Did you see the link for the Team Philly Race Training Program? It starts on Feb. 27, has set times and coached runs.
