The Beggining of a New Challenge

So a few weeks ago I was on Facebook and Vern's cousin's wife Emily had made a post asking if anyone wanted to join her in running a marathon this year. It intrigued me. So as of Monday the 24th I decided to do it! I've been talking with her and we have both started training. I got some great tips on line and from a great friend Lynor who has been running marathons for over 20 years. My first goal is to run a 5k that's 3.166666 miles. Not too bad if I might say. But working out is kicking my but. I do cardio of 15 run for 15 and a cool down workout for 15 each day... except Sundays, that's my day off. Every week I'm going to increase my running by 5 min. Emily and I have set a date for the 5k, March 26th. I hope to do well. I will also be running a 10k in May a half marathon in Aug and a full Marathon in November! I'm really excited to be doing this. Its given me a lot to concentrate on. I have to stick to a strict workout schedule, a high carb, high protein diet, and a set time for when I go to bed and wake up. Not only am I going to accomplish this great task I'm also going to be getting very healthy. So everyone wish me luck!
