Sometimes I think that these new year resolutions are just crazy.....I had a late start but have picked up my resolution of running consistently to get back in shape for a half marathon as well as loosing some weight. Today made three days in a row. Not a lot of mileage but slowly working up a bit at a time. Actually, 1/10th of a mile a day. Today I hit 1.7m.
It wasn't easy getting up this morning and I really felt like saying forget it....but the competition inside me pushed me to accomplish what i needed to. Running doesn't come naturally for me at all. I played fullback in school which means 5 YARDS FALL DOWN, 5 YARDS FALL DOWN, 5 YARDS FALL DOWN.....so running especially long distances isn't in my vocabulary. The little bit (okay maybe more than a little bit) of extra weight that I am carrying around makes it even more painful on the knees and back. But, I love the challenge.
Consistency is the goal.....with that will come the rewards. I will keep you posted from time to time on my progress. I just keep telling myself.....JUST DO IT.
