Right - getting back to that Marathon

Alright - lessons learned - don't get sick the month before the Marathon.  Ugh.  Well - on to the next one.  What else health and fitness-wise?  A whole season of Dodgeball!  Seriously - might have been the most fun sport ever.  I mean - totally ridiculous jumping around like that - but waaaay fun.  What's next?  Kickball starts up in a couple and then of course there is Soccer - I think I'm about to miss the first game of the soccer season though thanks to work travel.  Oh well.  Soooooo - back to running - and calorie burning.  Maybe I'll post burn counts every day here.  Should be an interesting thing to reconsider afterwards.  Just how many calories do you need to expend to have a serious affect.

BTW - Wii Fit?  Great for developing balance.  Measurable results after only three uses.  How ya like them apples.

A Marathon When???

So I'm committed - Walt Disney World - January 11th is the day - man - who start's a marathon at 6am. I'm pretty sure the greek guy didn't take off running at 6am. I've got just barely enough time to get ready for this marathon - no seriously - barely enough. So - I'm going to need all the help I can get. Time to call in a few friends and ask for some help. :)

Fortunately this started a couple weeks ago...but January 11th is going to creep up fast and it's going to be cold in the mean time. Maybe I'll get lucky and winter will hold off til afterwards??

Day 1 - signed up and registered...who knows what Day 2 will bring.

By the way - 82 days and counting down...

Did I mention this is my first marathon ever? *sigh* Is anyone else this crazy?
