Ioan has talked me into training for the San Diego marathon. I started pre-training a couple of weeks ago, and this week is the first of the 16 week training schedule leading up to the marathon on June 4th.
Up until last week, the longest run I have ever done in my life was 3 miles. Before last summer, I’m sure that I had never even run 1 mile before. Not even as a kid. I’ve now done three 4 mile runs, and the run this Saturday is going to be 5 miler. This should be interesting.
I’ll be periodically checking off the days on my Marathon Training Schedule.

I doubt this comment is “really damn good” but I wanted to say hi and let you know that I took your idea and posted the training schedule here. Looking forward to meeting you in SD! Woot!
Just wanted to say good luck. I am from San Diego, but now living in Salt Lake area. I have lost about 65 lbs, and am training to run in the Salt lake city marathon on Jun 3rd. When I first started I could only run about 5 min. Sat, did my 10 miler. I felt great. I kept thinking that someone should be playing the Rocky theme. I was thinking about San Diego next year. Good luck, Jeanette Allen
