On to Day 2!

So today was an day off of work and I therefore wasn't on my feet as much as normal. It was nice to have a short break. Two weeks with overtime= a very sore body. Anyway, I didn't weigh myself before eating today, so that isn't accurate. So what did I do today?

Distance: 1 m
Speed: 3.0 mph
Time: 20 min.

Not much, but that's all that's on the plan and it's only the first week. It's so far away, but I've got to keep on it!

First day training!

Well, according to my training plan print out, it's technically day two- day one was a rest day. My plan is for walking a half marathon, so today wasn't too terrible- 30 minutes at an easy pace. I started at 2.5 mph, although I could go faster easily. I don't want to push myself too hard at first, especially on a day when I work- I'm on my feet all day at work. So my stats for today:

Mood: Ill-headache
Time: 30 min
Speed: 2.5 mph (started at 3.0)
Distance: 1.3
Weight: 170.0 lb

Welcome!

Hello guest, and welcome to my blog. I suppose a little introduction is in order. My name is Ashley and I am planning on running the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February 2012. This blog will be about training for that race.
So, some more background information. I'm a 23 year old recent college graduate who has never ran a marathon before. I'm not really much of an athlete at all- I'm actually about 35 lbs heavier than my healthy weight for my height. So I'm working on losing that in addition to getting ready for the marathon. My sister and mother are planning on running and a coworker may potentially be joining us. Besides that, there's not much to say. I start training tomorrow. Wish me luck!
