Just another day? Maybe not. I am "Jane Soap", ex-couch potato and non-practising chocolate addict.
Yesterday I started on a journey far beyond anything I thought ever possible. I am going to run the Great Wall Marathon on the 19th of May 2012. Synchronicity got me to this point, now I have to do the rest.
Here I plan to write about my journey and my dream. Here I will splutter, doodle, cry, laugh and hope as I get myself fit (and nuts). I have never run a marathon and I am not a natural athlete. This is my Everest. My journey of towards five thousand one hundred and sixty four steps is about to begin. To the ones I love: Bear with me.
Week 1, Training Day 1: Ran a 6k yesterday as part of the first of an 8 week training plan, somehow it feels like a drop in the ocean. I worked out on my loyal calculator that if I manage 7km per hour, I will need 6 hours to finish the race. Phew, the cut-off is 8 hours...
I can do this...
