so I signed myself up for a half marathon in July and a full marathon a month later in August.
What have I done?
well... I've forced myself to start training. No more excuses!
I read in Tim Ferris' book "4-hour body" that he has a 12-week training course that I plan on following. (why not, right?) Here is week 1 for reference:
