Decision Day!

Today I have decided to sign up for the half marathon on May 6th.  The reasoning is really simple....  Always attempt to accomplish the impossible!  I am not a runner and very seldom wake up early enough to attempt to run.  I am a full time student, mother and child care provider with a rental business on the side.  This is not going to be easy for me.  What I can tell you is that I am a very determined human being who strives off of other people's disbelief's.  There are quite a few people who, for obviously valid reasons, do not believe that I will make it through this race.  I will prove you wrong!  Besides the obvious stubbornness, I am really looking forward to training in order to become more fit.  Surely conditioning my body to run 13 miles will transform my body in some way.  I will also be keeping track of my weight as a reference point of where I have started and where I am currently. 

So today, I ran for 2.3 miles at 5mph.  I got a little tired and went to 4mph for .4 miles.  Then finished my 3 miles running (the last .3).  This took me 39 minutes and I burned 481 calories!  The last 10 miles should be a breeze right? lol I have a long ways to go but am 100% optimistic! 

Bring on tomorrow!
