Marathon Training-UPDATE 2

UPDATE 2: The first month went really well. I managed to only miss one day and that was because I was literally bust from 8am-8pm. I made it up the next day so I didn't feel to bad. I'm right on track; walking two min and running four min. I know it doesn't sound like much, but that's the schedule and I'm following it. Also, come January I'll be back in school and taking two physical education classes at my college; Pilates for beginners and a Circuit Training class. I'm hoping these will also help with my training. I'll continue to update with my progress.

UPDATE 1: I managed to walk the full 30 min at a brisk pace yesterday and do my 30 min shred today.  My legs are a little sore, but I soaked them in cold water and feel much better.  I've begun transitioning my diet around, also. It's a little hard balancing my new diet since I'm not running full blown, yet, but I have slowly started to find a happy medium with learning to eat more protein and carbs and still stay on a low calorie diet; at least until I up my training and need to raise my calories. So far, I'm on schedule and feel optimistic.

As some of you may already know, I have decided to run the Detroit Free Press Marathon on October 20, 2013.  I started training yesterday and have a year long schedule planned.  I am going to do weekly updates on my training, so either you can follow along with me or not; either way, this journal will help me to know where I stand.
