ready to run

never in my life have i been

a. more ready to run and

b. this out of shape.

after about a 9 month hiatus from exercise i have finally been cleared to run!

i have been waiting for the opportunity to train "all-out" and accomplish my running goals. most of my running in the past has been done half-way because i was trying to start the fam.

so, praise the Lord...i have my baby joybird, and now a little bonus-- i can also have my running life...at least for one season.

so my goal: sub 3 hour marathon...either in december in dallas or in feb in austin. i set out on foot a few days ago and am realizing that the road ahead is going to be a long one. started back with an 11 minute mile pace. but, nothing thrills me more than a good challenge. i'm looking forward to pushing myself mentally and physically.

you would be surprised at what you can train your body to do. i try my hardest to get that message out. and i'll keep spreading the word.

if you are in the running world and care about training and such you can follow my running blog!
