Feb 2nd, 2009- Feeling Fine in 2009

Well, it is official, it is time to get in shape. As a matter of fact - yesterday was the first activity - physical that is- I have had in years. I started a running routine. I have been preparing to run for about 2 months now. I have bought and read 2 books on womens running, and bought many things I would need to be successful.

Yesterday- Nick and I went out to run. We were supposed to run for 2 minutes, walk for 4 minutes and repeat 4 times. DID NOT make it. The first 2 minute run was easy- the second was 1000 times harder, and the third-- made it 1 minute and 38 seconds. It was not the running.. it was the breathing that was hard... really hard. What is even sadder than that was that Nick was not able to make it 2 minutes anytime- even the first one.

Today I will do some aerobics and tonight is weigh in for the City Wide- weight loss contest- "Feeling Fine in 2009". My team is ready- we are the "Faithful Fatbusters- it is me, Brad Justice (my pastor), Tara Thomason, and Doug Poteat. There are at least 3 other teams from our church. Mom is on one called the Ridgewood Baptist Lean Machines...

My legs do not hurt today, I am not sore. That is good, I will get active and get healthy- some of it is losing weight, some of it is just to be able to NOT get winded walking through the hospital anymore.

Pray I am suceessful and just in case I have not already shared with you, My GOAL for 2009 is to run in a race. My dearest friends have been supportive and encouraging, I even have some who have promised to be at the finish line cheering me on. THANK YOU... I need your support.

Love to all!
