So day one of training for the marathon has come and is almost over. I woke up this morning and thought to myself "ugh." I have to go outside and exercise and it is cold and windy. But there are other people in this with me and they are going to be training today and I can't let them down come marathon day. So... Ewan and I got dressed and braved the Ellensburg windy weather and walked for about 2.5 miles. When I think about 2.5 miles compared to the 26 miles in March it pales in comparison. But I guess I have to start somewhere. I need to stick with it though. I am really good about sticking with an exercise program or a healthy eating plan for about 2 days, at which point I kinda fall of the wagon and go back to my old ways. But I think with Cielo helping me and holding me accountable everyday I can do it.
I also have found out that it is no longer just Cielo and I, my older brother Andres and my dad will also be training and participating in the marathon. I think it will be great to have them along. I mean how many people can actually say that they have done a marathon? I think it may be one of those bucket list things. So day one ends, and I am beginning to feel more excited about the prospect of participating in this athletic quest.
Way to go Maren! I'm a little nervous about how motivated I'm going to be to go running when it starts snowing ... maybe it's time for me to renew my gym membership. We can do it!
