Why?
In the past ten years I have been up (240) and down (135) the scale time and again. This time I am on the 'up' side of the scale. I want to loose the weight. I figure the humiliation of putting this on the internet and the friends that I have told of this to hold me accountable just might make this happen. It is going to take a lot of encouragement and support. Not to mention the hard work on my part. Follow my struggle here.

Going for the gold... well not really more like orange but still.
That's it I am making the commitment now. I have a goal. I will do this, if I start training now.
Me, a jogger or runner? HA! I think not. But I will be. "Oh yes. It will be mine." I think to myself in my best Waynes World voice.
I have been saying for years that I wanted to run the "Remember the 10 Run". I need to stop the talking and start the follow thru. I am still on a hunt for a good running bra. But I have a plan. It involves hitting Runners World or Ordering online. The walmart bra I got worked great, until a few washings then it started to shrink and smoosh.
So, with this being said, barring injury of obligation the third weekend of April you will find me in Stillwater running a 5K. Wish me luck. This will be a new and uncharted journey for me.
