Well, it is now a little less than a year until Disney Princess 2012. I am scared, scared sh*tl**ss to be exact. There was something comforting in knowing it was over a year away, but now it's time to get to work in earnest.
One of my friends says a year is plenty of time. Well, maybe plenty of time for a lot of people, but I ain't one of them. I have not run a step since I was in the ninth grade, I have a little more than a hundred pounds to lose to be at my ideal body weight, and thus far can't seem to keep any training efforts consistent. I am now starting feel a bit of pressure, but I think that may be a good thing.
So back to basics:
Walking three times per week for at least 20 min, ideally 30
One long walk per week
Using the Marathoning for Mortals schedule, start working on increasing speed after week 6
Starting week 6, increase speed with the walk/run strategy Galloway teaches
Keep it simple, keep it steady, and away we go!
