haha no not game related.
I'm going to train for a marathon with a trainer. 5 months to be able to run a half marathon. 13.1 miles.
A year to run a full one.
Oh man what am I getting myself into lol.

well right now I am pretty skeptical that I will be able to, seeing as how I have never run more than 3 miles at one time. And the schedule seems a bit lax to me.
run 4 days a week, one long run on saturday. every week for 5 months and I should be running 10 miles on my last saturday. Hah we'll see though, my goal is to run a half marathon in hawaii in June.

wow, GL with that Zed! I couldnt run any marathon, I could drive it in a car though.
BTW why have you decided to do it? Have you been running before? Or is your trainer hot blonde? Or is main prize for that Hawaii marathon $1 million?

haha for a few reasons, the main reason is because I have heard it is a great personal accomplishment and I wanted a real hard physical challenge, so umm that's one.
Two is a free trip to hawaii if I can run in it.
Three is why not. LOL, I figured now is a better time to do it than when I am old.
Four is hot girls run lol.
hehe thanks for the GLs, I'll need it. It's going to be tough.

Yep been doing it for two weeks. Monday was my first "real" day.
I ran 2 miles Monday (slowly though) yesterday on my "off day" I ran 1 mile (8mins) and then walked a mile. Today I'm suppose to run 3 miles. Thursday 2miles, and then off Friday. Sat I run 4 miles. Sunday off.
I'm trying to pace myself at 8mins/mile. Not too fast and not slow enough that I feel like I'm walking.
