starting today, 12/22/2014 until 12/22/2015, a full straight year, I am walking a marathon. i'm walking 26.2 miles everyday(Yes, it works with my schedule). i'm doing this for my own health because I am morbidly obese( you're probably thinking, no way! he can't do it!) But I'm doing this to show anything is possible! I'm using Nike+ running to track my miles. to make it simple, i'm going around a track instead walking to nowhere land. I will post updates every single day with a picture of the result of me walking to the marathon or the distance I suppose I covered. Please support me for the year being! Thank you! I will post my first marathon, today!

    Walking a marathon every day? What's that? 8-10 hours of walking?

    I know that sounds a bit crazy! But it works with my daily schedule.

    105 laps around a track every day. Sounds simple enough.

    I applaud you wanting to get healthier and setting up a goal for yourself, but a marathon every day for a week, let alone a year, is just a recipe for disaster even for someone fit and experienced with marathons.

    You are setting yourself up for failure and possible injury. Please reconsider your goals and think about how to train smarter, not longer.
