Many of you have sent me comments and encouragement letters over the past year and boy have those been helpful. Its funny now to look back over the past year at how all this got started. Who would of thought a little over a year ago I would have began running as a sport or hobby. Many of you who know me know I've been heavy my entire life. Knee surgeries in high school from playing football, yeah not the best combination for running. You may ask why running. Well a friend of mine started posting on facebook about this couch to 5k program. I read up on it and thought hey I can do this. I definitely have the couch mastered. So I began my journey in Dec of 2009. So far i have ran a bunch of 5k races with my best time being 29.46 completed just two weeks ago. I ran one 10k and currently am training for the rock and roll half marathon in Chicago August 14th. I started all this with the hopes that dropping the weight will help with the serious migraines I suffer from. In 2010 I was able to drop 30lbs all from running and watching what i ate. The down side was before Mark was born, I put 20 back on. The lesson I learned was I needed to add resistance training to that plan. Which is why this year in 2011 I have added p90x. I am currently in week 10 of my program with only 3 more to go. I feel in the best shape I have been in since High School. I've realized that when you think you Can't do something your accepting defeat before you even try.
Today I challenge you to find that one thing for fitness that you can try. Tell yourself you can do this and get going. Make sure though that you plan our your day and fit it in other wise time will get away from you and it will be easy to say I'll do it tomorrow. Don't put off tomorrow what can be done today. In most cases tomorrow won't happen either. No More Excuses as Mr Tony Horton states..
Battling an Inner Ear Issue today, lots of pressure and finally going to get it checked out.
That's all for today..
