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...

12th week!

The total miles I have run so far is 185! I am proud of my persistence as I ran a 7 mile this Saturday in rain and wind. I am targeting about 2 1/2 hours for the 1/2 marathon on the 30th of April. Hope I can make it.

Quotes of the week:

Carl Lewis
-Channel your energy. Focus

Carlos Lopes, Portugal
-Second place is not a defeat. It is a stimulation to get better. It makes you even more determined.

Chairman Mao
-Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.

Cheryl Bridges Treworgy, member of five U.S. World Cross-Country teams
-Taking charge of your body can help you take charge of your life. And that power can help you go wherever you want to go, every single day.
