Why?

I'm not sure what brought this on, but I've made the decision I'm going to run a marathon. There are a lot of impressive, more atainable goals out there so I'm not sure what made me decide on this. Mind you, I'm not planning on doing it this minute or even this year. I haven't run seriously since high school and that was 20+ years ago. So, I'm starting out slow. I've set forth a bunch of intermediate goals to ramp up to the big race. First off, I'll train to run a 5k sometime this Spring. After that, there's a cool night 10k in July. After that, there is no firm timetable but I'll likely gradually increase my weekly mileage and hit some other longer races as they become doable: 15k, 20k, Half Marathon, then the big one. My plan is to do it sometime in 2009. They say you have to train 18 weeks to be ready for your first marathon and that's if you have a solid base of running already, so I'll have to choose a good one and count back 4 months before I get a serious bug in my butt for it. Maybe I'll do the Honolulu Marathon...

Wow. Good luck. Wear band-aids on your nippolas.
 
It's all about the vaseline.
