I had just written this to a running "friend" and thought---why not blog about it--- so here is the letter and the first start to my running blog!
Are you still running? 2009 was not a good year--my father was riding his bike and was hit by a truck, and for months we debated on prolonging his life or letting him go. He died at the end of September, so to say the least running was always back burner with me--so it went away as I lived with my mom on and off all those months.
BUT--I am getting in gear! I ran for first time today in over a year. I signed up for a 5K and I am going to start working towards that!
How are you doing? Are you still seeing that personal trainer?
I love to stay in touch to motivated---to be held accountable--I am going to try to run 4 times a week for the first week (starting today) and then start running 5 times a week the next week and keep it at that--but increase distance, or the amount of time I actually run.
I am about 10-15 pounds overweight and I have a belly thanks to two wonderful kids. I dislike working out, but I am going to change my mental attitude about getting in shape. I really feel like running will help me loose those pounds and shed the fat (I am more interested in loosing fat instead of actual scale numbers).
I will also say that i have horrible eatting habits, but for the time being I am trying to eat less--and exercise more. If that doesn't work then I will start watching what I eat more.
OK--so now I have written you a book!
can't wait to re-connect!
Amy
