We’ve been officially training for our marathon training to start for about a month now. It doesn’t really seem like it’s been that long, but we’re trying to get a good base under us so we can avoid any injury. I have also been walking and walking/jogging on and off for a year. When we first started talking about running a marathon, it took a lot of thinking for me to get used to the idea and eventually come around to thinking that yes, this is an attainable goal for us. We’ve both been long distance runners in the past, but never this long and that was actually half our lifetime ago! We are twice as old now. Maybe it’s even better now, though, because we’re not running for competition but more for personal goals. One advantage that I do feel that we have is the knowledge that at one time we did have the physical and mental capabilities to run longer distances. Hopefully it’s locked away somewhere inside us waiting to be unleashed. Actually, now that we have this goal for a month now, I’m pretty sure that it is.
