Melbourne Half Marathon - MARK IT ON THE CALENDAR!!!!!!!

So, the Melbourne Marathon was last weekend and I was talking to David and he said if I did the half next year, he would do the fireman/Tiffany thing.  So....I AM DOING IT!!!  WHO IS WITH ME?!?!?!?!?

I can barely walk.
I weigh 246.
I have done NO cardio for months.
But I am making the commitment NOW.

So, here is what I am thinking....nice and slow.
This week I will do 3 days of walking 20 - 30 minutes.
Next week I will do 3 days of walking 30-40 minutes.
The following week I will start the couch to 5k.
I am giving myself 4 months to get to 5k.  (to March)
I will do 5k to 10k (to July)
I will start the half marathon distances after my bday.

Now, I know from having done the c25k, that I don't need 4 months.  But I want to go slow.  My knees are absolutely in so much pain - particularly my left.  I will tell my surgeon next week but he won't be happy.  Zero care factor.  I need to get some weight off.

Just like the Nike Half Marathon in San Francisco, David has promised to have a fireman, in a tuxedo with a Tiffany present at the finish line!!!!!  DONE!!!!!

Lisa Jane has said she will get on this as well.
Anyone else?

Lastly, I checked the times of the runners and I am positive I will be in the bottom 10 of all runners, but I will finish!
