the start of something new

well, maybe not so new.  i started running on september 29, 2008, but i just came off of a 2 week break.  i figured after a year of excuses and putting it off, it was time to start exercising.  running started off as a sorta easy way to do some cardio- put on shoes, run out door.  i started by running 2 miles straight through...it was very slow, but i did not stop.  2 slowly turned into 3.  then 3 made a jump to 5 when the park closed down and i had to run around the golf course instead.  then running was not just a way to lose weight.  it was a way to relax, to think, to blow off steam.  it was something to work on, improve upon, make goals with.  i am now training for a half marathon (13.1 miles) and so i want to keep track of my training.  along with running, i have decided to try out tae bo and incorporate some weight training as well.
