marathon or bust?

Yesterday I realized that if I'm going to walk the marathon in Sunriver my training should have started 2 weeks ago. So, I went for a walk yesterday and will do it again today and get myself on schedule. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I'm certainly not getting any younger so why not now. I have a couple of friends that have said that they will do it with me. So I'll get myself registered this week and keep walking. Being thinner would be a bonus but I want to be healthier. If I don't do something I'll end up being a diabetic, I have the risk factors of being female, middle aged, sedentary, and according to my BMI I'm in the obese catagory. If I lose only 21 pounds then I'll just be overweight. I think that will be an exciting day when that happens.

I'm following Prevention's marathon training guide, when looked at it day by day it is a very doable thing.

This adventure kind of scares me to commit to. I don't want to fail, and a part of me wonders if I can even do it. If I say it out loud here I think it will help me keep my focus. Just one days worth of excersing is all I have to worry about at a time. When I look at it that way it makes it a little easier.

I'm back

Wow, It has only taken me 5 months to remember and to reset my password so I can get back to my blog. Now that I know I don't think it will be another 5 months. I'm tired so I'm going to bed. I'm afraid I might have a little of what brought Paula home from school early today.
