Ok...I did it. I signed up to run a half marathon in January 2008. I know that seems like a long time from now, but it will take me at least that long to be ready. I actually paid money to run - what am I thinking. I decided the only way to get my FAT butt running again was to actually pay money for something. So...many of my entries in the next few months will probably be my progress of my running. I'll really start a training program 17 weeks before the race, so that's not until the end of September. So for now I'm just going to try to get back into some kind of running shape, so I can run 3 or 4 miles without feeling like I might die. Right now I'm at 2 miles, but when I'm done I'm exhausted! Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll get back into running shape!
Please pray for me during this time. I'm praying that I stay motivated and stay healthy. I also am praying that I make the time to really train, and in the process lose a few pounds. Mostly I want to do this to bring glory to GOD and no myself. I love being able to run to listen to praise music and really spend some time in prayer. I'm looking forward to my time that I can do that.
