and the training begins...

Two Saturdays ago I started a marathon training program. I think I'm crazy. Others agree.

So here's the deal - the plan is to go from my current state of no running whatsoever (unless you count the struggle that is my Wednesday night touch footy games) to running a full marathon early July. Just for the record, that's 22 weeks away.

The odds are against me. I really should have a solid year of running under my belt before I start a program like this. I've got dodgy knees. Hate to be negative (not the mindset I should have if I want to succeed), but I probably won't make it...

...but it is worth a try, couldn't hurt (though actually, it could... a lot...). Might as well aim high. If I really do struggle and get nowhere near where I should be, I can always drop my goals and work towards beating my half marathon PB time (which, quite frankly, shouldn't be very hard at all...).

Knees are already hurting. Struggling with my runs. Gee, the next 22 weeks are going to be fun...
