Day 2: Welcome to the Worst 24 Weeks of Your Life!

This morning began the first full week of our marathon training...that's right, I said a marathon, as in over twenty-six miles of solid running!  Now if you're reading this and know either Athena or me, please pick yourself off the floor and attempt to stop laughing long enough to read our explanation...

Ok, nothin's coming to me.  


The truth is, there's no sane explanation for our sudden interest in running.  In fact, neither of us even likes to run!  But we are turning a new leaf, starting a new chapter--ok, we're just committing suicide-- to say:  WE RAN A MARATHON!  

We thought it would be fun to blog about our running excursions in the next 24 weeks and on to the marathon day.  I'm sure you'll hear a lot of ranting and a significant amount of complaining, but please don't let that scare you away!  We want to hear about your own adventures at the track or along the trail...anything but your love of running... THAT we don't want to hear...


Today's Tip from Kendra:  December is the absolute worst month to start training, with 5:30am runs not helping the situation.  But if neither can be avoided, make sure to drag along a couple friends to suffer with you!

Kate ran with us this morning!
