January 3rd marks the first day of my training program...

For what you might ask... well my dear sweet friend Patty invited me to participate (or suffer) with her in a half marathon this spring. It will occur in Urbana Illinios on May 1, 2010. A nice (or so I hear) town, flat cource, and tons of supporters.

How fitting that my training program starts with a day of rest... I like rest... I would like rest a whole lot more if it also allowed my body to instantly transform into the long distance, faster runner I want to be.

This is mark a 17 week period of my life where I will have to put myself first... literally... I need to be up for each workout a 4:30 in the morning...

So wish me luck, I will report on my success tomorrow!
