I'm gonna give it a shot.

Training for a marathon that is.

With the Help of HCD (HardCoreDuathlete), or Andy from RM, I have a plan.

My planned marathon debut will be 5 November in Moncton, the Legs for Literacy Marathon.

There is the possibility that this dream/ goal will go nowhere as September and October are brutally full of workup training for deployment. But I will do what i can to meet the training requirements...si non...I will have a great 1/2 then...

Here is the plan.
