Look out world here I come.. training for the 09 Marathon

[Razor Roman]

As I mentioned in another thread - I am going to try to run the WDW Marathon in Jan 09, as it is the same week as my 30th birthday.

I have never been in great shape, and right now is no exception. I have never been able to run a mile, let alone a half-marathon or marathon.

I began training last night, "running" my first mile... ok quickly walking with some bits of jogging in between would be a better description... I would have done better if my shorts still had their drawstring and weren't falling down the whole time!!!

I also weighed back in.... 292. Pretty much where I have been for the past 11 months... I got down to about 280 for my wedding and put it all back on

I have basically come up with a regimen where I "run" 4 times a week, and once I get in to that, I am going to get back to using my bowflex on my off days.

Hopefully I will be able to get down to my mini-goal of 280 before it is Holiday time... then I would like to make it my goal to enter 2008 without putting any weight back on!

Anyway.. that's day one for me.
