Marlboros to Marathons: One Week

Marlboros to Marathons

I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. The extent of my athleticism was watching sports on television while eating a bag of Ruffles chased with a Sam Adams. I used to be overweight and unable to run from a pack of wolves. Now, I plan to run 26.2 miles on May 15, 2011! In just a few short months following the 26.2 mile jaunt, I plan to swim, bike, and run distances that I could have never imagined. My sister and I are currently training to compete in the Pittsburgh Marathon and the New York City Triathlon as part of Paul's Posse, a team of amazing folks who have banded together through athletic competition to stop Amyloidosis. On this blog, I am writing about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of training. Readers will learn more about Paul's Posse and Amyloidosis. Along the way, I am going to discuss the joys, sorrows, and comedic moments that can occur when a thirty-something, non-athletic, recovered junk food addict (me!) trains for such events while performing (or at least attempting to perform) her duties as a wife, mother, friend, sister, daughter, and professional.
