Day One

I finally got tired of being out of shape (again...still...). So, since I don't seem to be motivating myself, I asked Kim to be my personal trainer! I'm quite persuasive, you know. I said, "I have a proposition for you... But really, it's not much of a proposition because there is nothing in it for you!" Ha! (Good thing she loves me!) At any rate, I am going to go over to her house about two days a week and use her treadmill and weights. So, here's the big news: Today was my first day and I actually ran for 10 minutes! (Walked 5, ran 10, walked 10. About 2 miles total.) I have to say, I am quite proud of myself! (Hee hee!) My plan was actually to walk a few minutes, run a couple minutes, walk, etc... I thought for sure I was going to die after running just a couple minutes, but apparently I'm not as bad off as I thought! (Yea, me!) My hope is that going over there a couple days a week will not only give me an opportunity to use the treadmill and weights (and visit with Kim, of course), but will also motivate me to work out on my own on the days that I don't go over there. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!) Thanks, Kim! And to all of my other awesome friends who work out consistently and go to the gym and run miles and train for marathons and triathalons... You guys ROCK! And you're an inspiration!
