Yup, thats right a Marathon! 26.2 miles

 

March 19th 2012. Today is the day.  Today is the day my good friend LaDawn and I begin to train to walk a Marathon. For those who know me well, I have talked about doing this for years. Now that my children are a little older I have more time to train. I have always admired people who can say "I have completed a Marathon" Walking or running this is no small feat. It will take a lot of time and dedication. I found a 24 week training guide for "advanced" walkers. I expanded it to 52 weeks. To give us time to work up to the advanced program. In 52 weeks LaDawn and I share a birthday. LaDawn’s is March 22nd and mine is March 23rd. The temperature on that day typically varies from 34°F to 56°F and is rarely below 25°F or above 69°F. So rain or shine we have plotted our own course. This won't be a race we are entering. This will be walk we created for the two of us. We will definitely welcome well wishers and friends to cheer us on that day. Maybe you will decide to join us on different legs of our journey through beautiful Washoe Valley. Maybe complete a mile or two with us. You can ever join us through out the year as we train. The more the merrier! This will be a day of empowerment and a major accomplishment for us both. We both want to focus on our health and have something amazing to strive for. I am so joyful that I get to share this journey with LaDawn. She is an amazing woman! Who I am extremely blessed to have in my life. So wish us luck! I will keep you posted on our training and progress throughout the year.

 HAPPY WALKING!

Beckey and LaDawn

Have a Happy Healthy day!
