It's official! I'm going to be doing the Portland Marathon in '08. I've decided I'm going to start training for it now too. My official start day is Monday, October 8th and I have about a year to reach my big-azz goal of not just finishing it, but doing it in a time of 3:30minutes!
My training will be tough. Strict...very strict diet for the year (and hopefully keep it up after too :-), lots of running and weights. My plan to do it w/ 8 minute miles will require me to loses about 40 pounds. I'm going to do weekly blog entries to track my success and hold me accountable. Stay tuned and wish me luck!
