And So It Begins...

So let me give you some background as to how all this started...

Last year, I ran the 5/3 River Bank Run with Emilia and Lindsay. We talked about it for months, and I planned and planned on training...The next thing I knew, it was the day before the race and I hadn't run one mile in preparation...

So I did what any normal person would do, I ran one mile the night before the race and the next day I "ran" the 5K in around 45 minutes...

(Since then, Emilia and Lindsay have run probably half a dozen 5K's and are going to run the 10K at this year's 5/3 River Bank Run.)

Fast forward to October 2009. I was in Detroit on business and spent the evening with my good friend John. I told him the story of the 5/3 run and how I planned on running it again this year, but I would not procrastinate and put off training. He immediately challenged me at this year's race, so here we are!!

Since then, there has been a lot of talk about training, a lot of training by Emilia and Lindsay, but not so much by Peter and John.

Thus the blog, an accountability tool for both John and I.

He and I will be posting our training regimen (I have run twice in April!), diets, whatever we feel is pertinent to our preparation.

Good luck to all runners except John, you are going down.
