marathon training kickoff

ok, i know... it's been since april since i posted anything. but i'm back now, and hopefully i'll try to make this a trend.

today was the first day of our new (and hopefully permanent) fitness kick: marathon training. we've got a training guide (the non-runner's marathon trainer), we've got new shoes and clothes on the way (courtesy of nike.com and my wallet), and we've got motivation: get prepped to run the big race!

which big race? well, we haven't decided yet. we'll figure it out when we see how this goes.

today's first step was fast walking to get us into training shape: 30 minutes of walking at a fast pace. we did pretty well: 2.14 miles in 30 minutes.

we do this two more times this week, then next week we switch to 4 days of 45 minutes of fast walking. the running starts in week 3.

stay tuned!
