SORTOF RUNNING WHILE MORE THAN PATHETIC

Well, I am thoroughly ashamed to announce that this is the first time I've even attempted running -- or walking, for that matter--since waxing poetic in my last post.

As I was contemplating going out for a run, my 18-yr-old, feeling flu-ish, asked me to please get him some tylenol PM. I obliged, went out to start the car that he had used earlier in the day, and realized it wouldn't start because he'd left the lights on. Now I HAD to walk to the store, so walk I did. I went down to the store and then decided....'hey, I'm out here, why not try to run....so I did.

OH MY WORD. HOLY MOLEY. What kind of moron works up to 14-milers and then wastes all that training? This one. It was very discouraging. It was like starting from scratch while carrying a 25-lb sack of potatoes around my waist.

I have got some serious work cut out for me. I've got to lose 25 pounds and learn to run a stinkin' mile again. UG.

Thanks so much to those of you who have checked in to find out where I've been. I so appreciate the motivation and encouragement......even if it's taken a while for me to get started.

Jim has been working out of town for the last 5 months. In another week and a half, he starts a new position in Ann Arbor so we'll actually be able to run together again. It's been a very long 5-months.

Just remember, it was hard at the beginning last time too. You'll get through it again. Probably faster than last year because you know what to expect.

And we're here to support you again! And Jim!

Welcome back. I was checking in on you. I, too, need to get back into exercise.

What's the plan?
