Marathon training has begun!!!

We ran 7 miles tonight did push ups, the plank for 3 sets-1 minute each, sit ups and this superman thing. Tomorrow i have PT and do all lower body strengthening and Thursday run with the group again. I am beat...i was a dirty mess when this was over...we ran in dirt...gross!

This is my life for 17 weeks!!!

Im running a race this Saturday and then my team has to run an extra mile or two. If I don't lose weight after all this work, than i give up.

Re: Marathon training has begun!!!

that's awesome, what marathon are you running? i ran new york last year. what a great experience. don't be too disappointed if you don't lose as much as weight as you think you will because training will make you very very hungry and you'll need the fuel to run so much. good luck with the training. it's a long hard road, but the payoff is great!

ps are you running the dash and splash race in central park on sat?

Yes, Im running the NYC marathon and the Dash and Splash is this Sat.

Thanks for the encouraging words...would being more fit with slightly less butt and leg fat be a more reasonable wish!

Re: Marathon training has begun!!!

the nyc marathon is awesome. the cheering crowds rock!

maybe i'll see ya at the dash and splash. i'm running too. i'm preparing for the cow harbor 10K in northport in september.

you'll definitely be more fit and toned after all the running!

Re: Marathon training has begun!!!

im doing the cow harbor too...i did it last year. The crowd is great....its not a bad run except for that early hill!!

Re: Marathon training has begun!!!

very cool. i ran cow harbor in 2002 and i remember it being fun. but it's been so long i've forgotten how bad the hill is! i'm just hoping to improve on my time this time around.
