Training begins

I have thought a lot about my comments on my last post. I have also done a little research and counting the figures and have found that from this week it is exactly 18 weeks to the Melbourne Marathon.

As it so happens 18 weeks is the length of Hal Higdon's Marathon training plan. I have had a look at the plan and converted the figures from miles to kilometres and I do believe I can do it.

So as of this week it looks like I am in training. I will stick to Hal's plan as best as I can. If anyone can suggest a better training plan feel free to let me know.

You're committed now......You know you can't pull out......

Congratulations. When all is said and done, it's not so much about the destination (marathon) it's about the journey (training).

Hey, you are so incredible!! I'm so impressed and inspired!! Hey I am in the US (as you know), and I came across these nike shoes that link up with an ipod and records all of your training information- a bit like a speedometer I think, but it does even more calculations for you- you should look at the nike website- actually, it might be on the apple website under nike-pretty cool!!! Keep up the good work, and good luck with the training! LB
