Marathon Training

The last and only marathon I did was back in 2000. I had planned on doing the 2005 LA Marathon but skipped out because the nite before I was at Jen's bachelorette party and my body couldn't get up and go. I was tinkering with the idea that my body couldn't do a marathon but I think I could do the LA Bike Tour.... the only problem is that we have no bikes.

Even with all my health problems - the lower back pain & my foot and leg problems... I just don't like how my body looks and how I feel. I've sort of gotten back into running (with the help of the dog).

So, now I'm motivated to train like I was training for a marathon. I don't think I could do the 2010 LA Marathon... because hopefully by then I'll be pregnant. But I need some kind of training routine and not just absentmindedly running.

I found this Rookie Marathon Plan off the web:

And I think I'll probably use it as a guideline for me. I just wonder how long I'll stick to it.
