I was 45 years old and about 25lbs overweight when I decided to run a marathon. Not just any marathon mind you; the Boston Marathon. When informed that you have to actually qualify to run in Boston, I realized that I'd have to run two marathons. Had I known how hard it would be, I would've stuck to tennis. So, in July 1998, I joined the Houston Fit marathon training program with a single goal of running the 1999 Houston Marathon fast enough to qualify for Boston. I went to the seminars, read everything I could get my hands on, and immersed myself in distance running. In January 1999, I ran my first marathon and qualified to run in the Boston Marathon. I was now a marathoner and was going to Boston! The next day, it began to hit me. Boston was only 3 months away and I couldn't even walk down stairs. And questions were flooding me...could I recover in time to be able to run in Boston? And what about Boston...would I run it faster, slower, the same....what? It was confusing but I was hooked and determined to find the answers. I've continued to study the art and science of distance running and train accordingly. Since 1998, I'm happy to report that my race times have dropped dramatically and I have managed to accumulate a few racing awards from the 5K to the marathon. I love setting challenging goals and the process of achieving them. The Runbayou training program is all about your goals and your desire to reach them.
