stereotypical single woman

For the past few weeks I’ve had a very odd urge to start running. And it’s been annoyingly persistent. I’ve tried to ignore but it’s just not working. I’ve stopped trying to completely understand it. I’m sure part of it’s my body’s fight or flight reaction to the stress right now, but the other is a growing obsession to have a fit, toned, and healthy body. I’m not going to get any younger and I want to enjoy looking good while I can. I’ve also always wanted to run the 5/3 River Bank Run. I know, it sounds insane (especially coming from me) right?

But like any good City student I’ve done my research. I figured out that not only can it be done, but that I can do it. Yeah, it’s not that big of a revelation for some, but for me it was huge. I’ve started moving. It’s a slow start, but weight is coming off and physically I’m feeling wonderful (emotionally, well, I’m getting there.) And I’ve found a group to join online, started by a knitter of all people. It’s not quite the 25k run yet, but 100 miles by Sept. 30th is completely doable. Stay with me to see the progress.

(Oh, and Trina, I dare you to join with me)

One last thought - Why haven’t I found Google Pedometer before?
