I’m running a marathon

I decided to do it. I'm going to run the Marine Corps Marathon. I paid my 94 dollars. I'm in. No turning back now.

I've spent a lot of time recently planning out my training schedule. I'll finish One Hour Runner in the first week of June. Then I'm going to run a 5K and a 10K. After those are over I'm gonna take a week off and then start my marathon training.

I'm going to follow Hal Higdon's Marathon Training Guide.

I'm going to change things up just a little bit though. I intend to lift two days a week in addition to the four runs. I'll take my rest day the day before my long run.

This should be interesting to say the least. If a marathon is too much for me I'll know well before the race. Worst case I can defer until '09. I hope I don't have to though. I'm excited about having a challenge that has nothing to do with weight loss.
