About RunningBee
Hello! This weekend (8/2/08) I attended a 5/10K with my family. My husband ran (and placed) in the 10K. This was his first race in 14 years (long, recovering, story) It was exciting..inspiring. Having been trying to get motivated myself to get back into shape, I was truly inspired by him this weekend. So I’ve begun today the couch to 5K program. I have already been an active walker but never a runner …. Last year I lost weight…and gained half of it back. I have been back on the loosing weight thing since early summer, I have been been logging my food and exercise but it’s been slow. Mainly because I just couldn’t find any motivation for staying away from chocolate and my first love - Starbucks.
Next March I will turn 40 and to be honest my thirty somethings weren’t stellar (hence the weight gain). But I don’t want to waste anymore time grieving or trying to control things I can’t. I want to enjoy my life and my family. I’m setting new goals for myself, I want to be confident and happy with myself. And while my life my might not lead down the paths I had once dreamed of, I want it to be a happy journey none the less. So I’m running, I’m a bit nuts as you’ll probably figure out. Call it mid-life or hormones. But essentially I’m a good person who’s a bit of a lost soul. Keep reading and you’ll see
