So it all begins 23/07/12

Hello hello :)

I am a 19 year old girl living in Dunedin and studying for a Bachelor of Applied Science in Physical Health and Well-being. As part of my course I was asked to chose a physical challenge for myself to train for and complete within a 12 week period. I chose to do the Moro Half Marathon because I did it last year but wanted to see if I could improve my time. I have created a 'SMARTY' goal to work towards which is:

Specific: Complete the Moro Half Marathon/ 21.1km
Measurable: Finish in under 2:15mins
Achievable: I completed it last year so its possible - want to do it faster this year
Realistic: With adequate training, it is realistic to cut off 11mins of my time 
Time: I have 8 weeks to train as the marathon is on the 9th of September
Yourself: I have chosen this goal for myself and am motivated to train and achieve it

The marathon is in 8 weeks time so it is time to start training! This blog will follow my 8 week journey to success (hopefully). Wish me luck, I am going to need it!!
