Day 1

Ok so I have been slacking BIG TIME on going to the gym and I decided that if I found something that would motivate me then I would go everyday. Well I have always wanted to run a marathon but I am not a runner. I have thalassemia and it makes it hard for me to run long distances, but it doesn't mean that I can't. So I have decided that I am going to finally run a marathon! Today was "Day 1" of training and my training is not going to be just running but a mixture of weight training, running, and different types of cardio(like spinning). Today I started with weight training. I have a great class I go to that really makes you push yourself to get stronger, it's called 24 lift and if you have a 24 hour fitness around you then you should check it out. Anyways, so my goal in the end is to run the Big D marathon in Dallas, which is April 10th, and in between now and "d-day", I am going to run the Austin Half Marathon on Valentines Day. Ok wish me luck and I will continue blogging on how it's going!
