I am doing the Rite-Aid 2008 Cleveland Marathon this year! It is May 18th and I plan to do the Half-marathon. Today was day one of my training.

The run was exhilarating! but very hard. Training is gonna be intense.

There were moments of single-minded determination: just put one foot in front of other.

There were moments of tears. I really thought I was in better shape.

I had to tell myself: You will not die if you keep running, LOL

Gear: two pairs socks, running shoes, track shorts over yoga pants, sports bra, t-shirt, long shirt, running jacket, winter headband, gloves

Training plan basics: Sat, Sun, Tue are 5mile run days. Wed,Thu,Fri 3mile run + 2mile walk days. Monday just walk day.

I am still doing 30 minutes of yoga daily. BIG help with breathing control during running & endurance. I will challenge myself with difficult poses for strength.
