262 Days to 26.2

What a beautiful morning it's going to shape up to be! 262 days until the marathon, what a fitting number to start training on!! So here's the deal, rather than start this off like I haven't been doing this for a few years I am just going to carry on.

This is the first week of my training! I took last weekend off to just be with the fam, and it was delightful. So here is how I am going to do this. My first goal is strength, I have endurance and will maintain and lengthen it over time, but I really want to strengthen myself. I have never been able to do a pull up in my life! That's right I was that kid in gym class. This year will be different! I will reach my pull up goal! It's fun training for a marathon, my mind set switched completely. Before it was about losing weight, now it's about being able to run 26.2 miles. Now, about that pic, Josh bought me that outfit and I don't have a full length mirror, so he took a pic, and I was elated! Finally I am starting to see the body I want!

This is how my last month has gone

A.M Jillian Michael's Shred

P.M Weight Loss Yoga Monday and Wednesday

and a beautiful run, I was delighted in the fact that I ran my fastest 4.25 mile loop ever 37:40!

It has been great! My goodness I may reach my goal jean size by Turkey Day!

I can't always get my runs in with less and less day light, but I am giving it my best shot.

This weeks goal:

Start Marathon Training

One long run
