Ok I Am On!

I am beginning a blog for myself to track my changes, and to keep me honest! I want to change my health!



Running? ME? NEVER?

HAH! I CAN run....and I am running! I can't believe it. I would have never suspected that I, who smokes- drinks- and eats all the wrong things, could actually run! I started in May 2007 in Arizona.

I was on track, running 3 times a week. We moved back home to Tn where we live on Norris Lake. We boat, travel to visit family, and are very, very active just being us! Then......
I got off my schedule and basically quit running for 2 months! I needed a jump-start to get me going.....I registered for a 5K in Knoxville. THAT outta do it! Wow. time got away from me and the run was upon me. My friend signed up too. (She is quite an inspiration for me)..

We went and ended up walking more than running ----because I didn't train consistently and FOR 6 MONTHS as most of my reading tells me... My finish was 0:53:08....I was 905th! (only 8 people behind me) OMG, at least I finished. Now, I know what NOT to do before a race. My friend and I stopped and had sushi and a beer each before going! MISTAKE!! BIG, MISTAKE! She was fine, but not me.

I've learned my lesson. I'm still not running, but reading about it. Time to get off my duff and start again. I will get better organized. I will, I will.
