FINALS ARE OVER!!! Renewed commitment to my peeps!
Y'all!
Just wanted to let you know how terrible at accomplishing my goals I have been this week. First of all, it started Wednesday when a co-worker took me out to lunch. He paid, and of course insisted that I get a soda as well. I was weak, and gave in. Unfortunately that led to worse decisions through the rest of the week. I had a 'pick-me-up' drink to help me get through the sleep deprivation that I caused myself by writing a 10 page paper in 2 days, my boss paid for lunch on Friday for me... another soda, double date with my friend C.J. and his wife to a SL Bees game led to another soda, and the wonderful BBQ for my brother-in-law resulted in 1.5 cans of soda being consumed. To add to the terrible nutrition choices, I didn't run... I got caught up in school, and yard work and playing with friends that I failed.
--Renewed Commitment--
The original goals stand... 4 Liters of water, run 5 days a week. Simple right???????
....
....

We'll have to see.
I have also added a few goals,
1. It takes 21 days to form a habit, so I need to stick with this routine for 21 days, tomorrow being day 1.
2. SP -- All male JABI marathon runners will have a Soul Patch. This will help remind you of your own personal goals. It can be neatly trimmed or extremely bushy according to your desire.
3. Keep a food journal! Record every piece of food that touches my lips, every beverage that tantalizes my tongue, and every snack that satisfies any craving.
and finally
4. READING!!! I have a few books that I'm going to start reading. I'm starting with more of a story book titled "Born To Run" borrowed from my brother.
Follow my blog... Comment on my posts... This is the type of motivation I need to keep me away from the soda. I need to be accountable, and you are the people I will account to, so comment/follow to let me know who is there!!!

My history of running
I don't know if this is helpful or interesting to anyone, but I thought I'd compile a list of my "History of Running" for everyone.
1. Probably my earliest memory of running is of my nose.
2. Running at recess
3. Running at sports practices and events(i.e. wrestling, football, baseball).
4. Running the 4th of July Freedom Run (1 mile not timed).
5. Running to catch the bus.
6. Running away from the scene of a Toilet Papering gag.
7. Running up my dad's electric bill by watching the inside of the fridge like a TV.
8. Running through Megan's mind.
9. Running in Cooper's Run 2010. A 5k charity run with a time of approximately 26 mins.
10. Running on a treadmill at the U of U field house.
As you can see, my running history is quite exuberant. This history should prove in aiding me in accomplishing my running goal.

Ideas for other 'warm-up' races
So I was talking to a co-worker the other day who is really interested in running. She gave me a few ideas of other races I could run. The list is as follows;
Deseret News 10k on July 24th
Ragnar, 12 member team with 3 assigned running legs
and she suggested running at midnight in August because there are a few races that do that.
She threw out a CRAZAY idea, at least it seemed CRAZAY to me. She told me that if I started training now then I could easily be ready for the St. George M. that is this fall. She told me that the SGM is a very fun race with a good route. I think I'm opting to us my "Phone a Friend" lifeline with this question. Do you think I should prepare for the SGM this fall? HELP!!!

Introduction and Call for Participants
Welcome to JABI Marathon Training!!!
My name is Kendall D. and I am new at this running business, and have decided to run a marathon. I am currently planning on training for the Salt Lake Marathon next April, but a co-worker told me that if I started training now, I could EASILY be ready for the St. George Marathon this fall. My purpose in creating this blog about my running experience is to show exactly how hard most marathon runners train, and all the preparation needed to finish a marathon. To accomplish this goal, I would like to invite everyone to join team JABI (the meaning of JABI is yet to be revealed, and will probably be done closer to the day of the race). As of right now, all you need to do to join is plan on running the SLC Marathon, 1/2 M., or 10k in 350ish days, and comment on these blog posts with your preparation activities!!! Heck, I've got a lot of international friends that may want to participate. All you have to do is plan on running any marathon, 1/2 or 10k. I've got a range of topics I will be writing on as manifest by the tabs up top. Hopefully I can also post all of my running routes that I take, (if someone knows how to do this plz help). So you can start today by writing a comment on my 'Goals' with your own goals.
Thank you in advance for all the support and posts that help encourage me to keep going!
