The details.

This is my personal journey of going from the couch to the Country Music (1/2) Marathon in Nashville. I promise I'll "jazz" up this site as we go along.

I am not a runner.

Let's start by saying I am not a runner. I've (quite frankly) always hated running. I was a swimmer in growing up but haven't swam more than a few miles over the past 10 years. In the spring of 2009 I came close to completing the Couch to 5k program but got off track after I had to have my gallbladder removed. Let's just say I haven't done much running (or any at all) in over 8 months.

I only have 75 days to do this.

So I realize that I'm not going to be at 100% with only 75 days until the race. ... but that doesn't mean I won't give it my all.

Training Plan

Well, since I'm not a runner ... I'm picking out my training program based on no experience. I'm going to loosely train on the Couch to 5k program but try to amp it up.

More about me...

I'm 29, female, about 5' 4" and I've gained a few pounds post-surgery (currently at abut 153 lbs... as much as it hurts to type that). As you can see, I'm not in the best of shape (nor the absolute worst of shape).

I am married, love fried food and Diet Coke. I have a Golden Retriever and love to travel.

Well, that's enough about me. Let's get this thing started.
