Goal...

So I've debated back and forth about whether to blog about this or not, and I figure, what the heck, I'm going to need all the support I can get. So for a couple of years now I've really wanted to be a "runner". Every time someone I know, or someone I meet starts talking about their running escapades, I get REALLY jealous. A few years ago (back before I started having kids) I was running about 3 miles/day but that ended and I havn't been able to get going again. So this year I have set the goal to run a 10k. Before the end of August. Now I know what you're all thinking... "what the HECK!! Can she even walk one mile??" (I know, cuz I've thought that myself) But I've started "training" already... and I have a plan....so all I need is the daily motivation!!! (that's where it gets tricky) So I thought if I send this out into the blogosphere, then that will be my motivation. If everyone knows about my goal, and I've written it down, then I have to be held accountable. So let's see if it works....

Nice work Shanna. I need to do this with you. By the way, I haven't called you because we are completely out of minutes. We get new ones on Saturday and I will call you then.

I can honestly say I've never been jealous of anyone when they talk about running. Troy gets home from the gym and tells me about how fast/far he ran, and I try to act interested. But I wish you the best of luck!!!! It really is a great goal. I've been thinking about starting up with water aerobics/swimming in a couple weeks.
