Today I am mapping out the next 18 months of my life. It's probably the first time I've ever done that! The goal is totally attainable, 18 months to raise 7000.00 and train to run 42 km...I can do that...right?
Oh good lord, I hope I can do this?
What if I fail?
What if I can't run that far.
I don't really like to be uncomfortable. This will mean 18 months of discomfort. 20 weeks of intense training (260 hours and 769 km in 20 weeks) and that's just the Marathon training. I want to run the whole way so I have to start at the beginning. Cause right now walking a couple of blocks at a moderate speed is uncomfortable.
And there it is. The other reason I will do this. I am 40 years old, overweight, out of shape and wasting the good years in front of a TV. I am mid way through my life. That is not good cause I have quite a bit to pack in still and won't have the energy to do it all if I don't get moving now.
So back to the plan. First the running room learn to run program. Yes I have to learn to run. Apparently there are rules. I can't just run about willy nilly till I get tired. Which we have already established will be right away.
The program go's from June till September, then the 5 km from Oct - Dec , another 10 weeks in the frigid winter. Did I mention I don't like being uncomfortable?
The 10 km which I think will take me from January to March and then I guess that will be when I start the 20 weeks toward the Marathon.
Wow, I'm tired and need a nap.
Later I will get to map out the fund raising events.
Any ideas?
