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...

7th Week completed!

Well I did a 5 mile on the treadmill and 4.5 miles in the trail. I am still keeping up my training schedule. My son as been advising me not to do the marathon this year and just do 2 half marathons. He does not want me to be injured. However, I do not want to give up. I bet a wonderful 64 year old young lady Cindy yesterday who is running the 1/2 marathon for American Heart Association. Her commitment to the cause, have me more vigor and served as a tonic to work harder.

This week quote will be from my daughter's blog - Mahadarshan.blogspot.com :

Darshana Prakasam:

It only takes a little extra effort to be extraordinary.
