I started the long road to the Flying Pig yesterday. I weighed in at 199 lbs so I have a lot to lose over the next few months. It has truly been an unfortunate trend...192 in 2008, 195 in 2009 and now pushing 200 lbs. On a better note, I did run/walk for 6 miles on the treadmill and even though it is not the same as road miles, I feel like it is a good start. 70 minutes on a treadmill is killing me but 18 degrees outside is worse in my book!
Sue is going to try training with Fleet Feet this year to stay motivated. It will allow me to compare/contrast the option for next year. It is hard for me to get on a regular schedule for something like this. I find that I stick my workouts into my schedule at time permits.
What's making it harder this year is my new goal - to run the full marathon. Although most training plans get you running up to 20 miles in a day as preparation - I hope to get up to 16-18 miles by mid-April. The race is the first weekend in May.
