Marathon Training - Bitchy Runners Style

We are on day 2 of marathon training.  We were supposed to do yoga this morning.  Randee's son was up sick all night.  Needless to say, this was all the excuse we needed to sleep in. My goal is to turn myself into a pretzel after work.

I thought I would share our training schedule with you.  As with all our running, we are taking this very seriously.

We plan on doing lots of racing to prepare for the marathon.  Please notice Doug chasing us.
We will spread the word of our marathon training and promote the always enjoyable sport of running.

Wouldn't you want to run with us?  Please notice who got the biggest boobs.
However, we have learned that you have to make things fun.  So we have made sure to schedule plenty of good times into our plan.

We will have a few nights out dancing. I'm expecting my butt to start looking so good I will have it hanging out most of the time.

Randee wants to put her new rockin' body to good use.

She will begin doing belly dancing on the weekends.  A little extra cash to buy more compression socks.
We also want to make sure we get plenty of rest.  We have one beach trip planned.

Nothing but white tiny bikinis for us this year.  Of course Doug will tag along and him and I will be making out in the water while the girls put on a modeling show.
Then come October 9 we will be well trained, well rested and ready to run.  We will show 26.2 who's boss.

Of course I will win the race and the prize money.

Oh, what an exciting journey this is going to be.

 Update:  SUAR is having a kick butt giveaway for a Champion jacket and shorts. Go check it out here.

We will book our flights soon.

However, the hard part is the training and the actual running!

According to the marathon website we have 249 days, 20 hours, 22 minutes and 24 seconds to get ready.

Perhaps that will be enough for us to finish!

That number has never looked so BIG.

 Finishing is winning.

See ya at the finish line!


And here I go.  Wondering what the hell I just did!

Let the Bitching Begin!

Randee and I have decided to start a blog. (As if we did not bitch enough already!)  Now you can follow us in our quest to run the Chicago Marathon.  We will take turns updating our progress, writing race reports and bitching about our injuries and husbands! (Love ya honey!)  Feel free to post comments and give us feedback!

Follow our blog and let the bitching begin!
