Sixteen weeks!  In sixteen weeks from today we will be participating in the Sedona Marathon/half marathon/10K/5K.  Start your training.  Remember you can upgrade or downgrade on race day.  This is a pretty cool option.  I usually sign up for runs at the last minute because I don't know if I will be prepared for a specific distance.  So if you signed up to walk the 5K and on race day you have trained and are strong enough to walk the 10K you can pay the price difference and upgrade to the 10K.  

I started this blog for us to keep in touch, share training methods/stories, share recipes (mine will all be vegan, which I highly suggest you try for a while; see how you feel, sleep,poop.etc.), share books,(just started "The Girl who Played with Fire") movies, share stories, pictures, share our travel plans to Sedona, etc. Or maybe you just bought this super sweet messenger  bag at REI clearance on Thursday and you're excited for your purchase; you can share that as well.  There are no rules.  You name it; we can share it. I plan on sharing "The Lisa Vegan Training Method to Running/Walking any distance with a smile on your face.". We can also share this blog with our family and friends if they are interested .  I just watched the movie "Julie and Julia" which I recommend if you have not seen it and I plan on turning this blog into a published book and movie.

Sixteen Weeks:  buy yourself some comfortable shoes, start training today.  You don't have to journal your mileage; you can just "blog" it here.

This link has several 16 week training plans for 10K and up.  I like it because it is based on minutes not miles for each training day.  Also, if you plan on only walking just don't do the running section, keep walking instead.
