Training for my first marathon

So. Yesterday, after reading The Bull Runner's blog, I am inspired to run the Pasig Marathon.

Huh, I've only run one race so far, Soroptomists Takbo Breast Friend, a 5K, earlier this month. I ran slower than hoped, 32:03, but I placed 6th in Women's. Oh, the smile pasted on my face that day! I swear, the afterglow lingered for days.

Whatever possessed me, but I am committed to running the Pasig Marathon this coming February 2008.

Training tools:

Here starts my four month journey towards my first marathon.
