Steamtown marathon 10/11/2009

 So Mike and I have talked about running a marathon for a while now and we have decided to go for it. We are going to enter the steamtown marathon in Scranton PA on October 11, 2009.

I am a strict vegetarian (like I have a bite of cheese here and there but my diet is very close to vegan) as is my hubby but I have decided that for training (at least) I want to eliminate the small amount of cheese I eat from my diet so I run the race entirely vegan and trained that way. Its not to big of an adjustment for me but it is a goal I want to reach. Training starts Monday with a 6 mile run. We got a training plan from runnersworld.com that is tailored to our ability.

I am really excited to have a goal. This will mean pushing back my tummy tuck surgery until november but its totally worth it.

I am also really glad to be running with Mike it helps us become closer together.

Wow that's huge. Good luck to you guys! Is he a runner too? I don't run more than 3 miles now since it's on the treadmill. How can you both go out together to run? We couldn't do it because of the kids, sounds like a great thing to do as a couple though.
