TRAINING FOR THE MARATHON

... the last watch that I owned was purchased for $2.5 in Bangkok, Thailand ... back in 2004 ... pretty cool ... all plastic and fancy colors ... very similar to a SWATCH ... but not a fake version of it ... I think I bought it more for fun than for a real need ... I am not sure if you like watches ... personally ... I don't ... I don't like them ... I feel too much pressure ... probably I am lucky enough that nobody complains anymore if I get late to meetings ... they got used to it ... so for me buying a watch last week has been a big decision ... but I had the right one ... discounted ... only $49 ... pretty cool ... the brand is SMART HEALTH ... it measures also the HEARTH RATE and BLOOD PRESSURE ... I use it only when I am running ... and I have to say that it is giving me good news ... on Monday I found out that I was able to run 4.5 miles in 45 minutes and today in 43 minutes ... probably still slow if I want to do a decent MARATHON ... but I have time to work out ... exactly 26 weeks ... and on internet I found a 26 weeks program to train for a marathon ... try it ... you can just GOOGLE ... MARATHON TRAINING ... incredible INTERNET ... :o ... I just hope that I will manage to keep up with the training and run the March 2007 LA Marathon ... I just want to run one marathon ... only one ... just to demonstrate to myself that I can do it ... :D
