Time to get serious.

The next several months are going to get progressively more intense when it comes to running.

Ambitious (more like overzealous) fool that I am, I am planning on completing two 1/2 marathons this fall, four weeks apart. Tricia is running the first one (Disneyland 1/2) with me, and Heather is running the second (WDW Wide & Dine).

What this means in terms of day-to-day life is that I have to do everything I can to get as fit as possible in the coming months. I need to have the endurance, stamina, and strength to run both races and come out of them feeling aok. I will also need to peel off as many pounds as I can manage in that time to reduce the pounding on my joints when I'm hoofin' it.

This may be a bumpy ride, and I'm sure it will test my strength of will, but I'm buckled in and ready for blast off!
