The journey of 26 miles starts with...

...3 miles.

Day 1: (Nov 15, 2010)
Last minute, a girl from church wanted to train with us. And so saying a short prayer to kick off the training, we were off to our first workout.
Surprisingly, my running partner and I were on the same pace. Unfortunately, the girl started cramping during the last mile, so we had to walk/run the rest of the way.
It was an easy run. I was not expecting to hurt the following day. But for some reason, I had muscle pain.

Re-climbing a mountain

Last week, a friend from church asked if we can train together for a marathon. And so I suggested doing L.A. in March. We both registered for the race the following day. So there's no turning back now! (So help us...God!)

Just thinking about all the commitment that's involved from my first one. :-(

We decided to go by Hal Higdon's Novice 2 training sched (http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/novices2.htm). We'll make adjustments to the sched as we go.
