How did all start?

January 1st 2011, we were on our way to the temple when we started a discussion on being fit. One lead on to another and I said 'How nice it will be to run a marathon? ' One lead on to another and by 2 pm my son walks into a Nike store and got me a pair of running shoes!!!Now I am really stuck. All my life I have been telling my children about aiming high, look for the stars, setting goals which are seemingly impossible etc...
It is time, at 47 years, I have to say that I will do it
So I did - Save be GOD!!!!!
We came home, I googled - to look for an idiots guide to running marathon. Finally landed up in the California International Marathon Page (http://www.runcim.org/) Went into my calendar and marked December 4th, 2011 - for running the Sacramento Marathon.
Watched a movie and went to sleep...

First day of my training..

From Naïve Doctor's Marathon of a Mistake

Got up at 5.30 am as always. Had my coffee and was on the computer, when suddenly it occurred that I did say something about running the marathon.

Looked outside the window, it was dark, cold and raining. Is it really worth it on a Sunday?

By 6.30am I decided, yes it is, dressed up with the oddest looking clothes and of I was to start my first training session.

I came back after 45 minutes - 21 minutes of jog and 24 minutes of brisk walking.

5 minutes of fast walking, 7 minutes of jog, 5 minutes of walking, 7 minutes of jog, 5 minutes of walking, 7 minutes of jog and 9 minutes of walking

My wife took a picture of me coming back
