January 7, 2013

Well, whatever I had that kept me down is finally beginning to exit!
I spent Wednesday night/Thursday early morning on the bathroom floor-after that it seemed like mountain climbing to actually get out of bed, forget walk the 3 steps to my bathroom.....but5 days later here I am! Went for a 1.79 mile walk early afternoon...going to ease back into this training mode as I do NOT want a repeat visit from whatever that was because I wore myself down! I'll likely work into 5 miles walking daily before I start completely running all of the miles, but the first race is in March and even though I won't be racing anything but the clock/and myself, I have a goal of running better than before! Still working on the planning stages of my racing this year, but I have decided that my biggest goal is to finish losing weight thru running and eating better, that is more difficult with the food required to eat for marathon (well. half marathon) training-so I will do what I can with the weight until I have to dedicate everything to 13.1 miles training....my SECOND largest goal this year, but simply to finish!  SO with a HUGE Thank you to all of my support system and FB/Twitter running friends, I will press on-you all inspire me and show me that it may take smaller steps but I WILL get there! (Patience with myself and learning, is NOT one of my virtues!)
