First Ever Full Marathon 25th October 2009

I have just secured an entry to the sold out Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC, this the first ever full marathon 42km I will take on or 26.2 miles, this is going to be an awesome event, seeing many of the sights along the way, including passing the pentagon, capital hill and many historic monuments and landmarks known world over.....

I have now realised I have a heck of a lot of work to do in around two months, Ive got that last 6/7 kilos of weight to slice off my body, lots of strength to build and endurance to condition my body, and run around 30km per week for the next month, for what I consider will be one of the defining moments in my life.

I think i will be able to get to 30km, but the rest is going to be pure pain, luck and dogged determination and persistence.

So this weekend See's the opportunity to take on yet another half marathon, but at this stage I have decided to give my body a rest after taking on a number of weeks on the rampage to my quest to rack up just as many kilometers on the run as I normally rack up with Qantas Airlines in a year, nah that really is impossible :) even though I've been a little lite of recent times.

This week the hard work begins, eating better, training harder and working on that path to meet this goal I have set myself.

If anyone wants to join me in Washington ill head out on the 22nd Oct. and return the following week email me for the details!

When will the body crash?

Cheers

Jeff
