No Thanks, I'm In Training

So my sister just agreed to train for a half marathon. In telling me about it, her excitement was apparently contagious because the next thing I know I have asked her to send me her training regiment for perusal. I read it, it seemed do-able and voila, I too, am about to embark on training for a half marathon. In May. Oh man.

She put together a plan that begins Feb 7 (so I have till then to either live it up or start to get myself on track) and goes until May 30, the BIG DAY. She is about to work on a nutrition plan for the same time period. I have never stuck with a plan but I think its because I have never had a tangible GOAL before. Sure, theres "get fit", "lose weight", "fit into those jeans", but no real EVENT wherein the result is based solely on how much I commit to the next 5 months. Like Joey said on Blossom, "WHOA!".

I'm pretty pumped. Not so much that I'm having a protien shake for breakfast and a power bar for lunch, lets not go crazy just yet, but pumped nonetheless.
