Day 1

Okay, I never promised Day 1 would be immediately following my first entry. At least I actually waddled my way to the tread mill instead of taking a nap, like I usually do on most Saturdays. I slogged along today for 3.25 miles-- a happy combination of jogging and walking. My good friend and I have signed up for a 5K run (which we will walk) on March 17th. I figured I need to get started if I actually want to get back into shape, which I really do. It's just so much easier to put pounds on than it is to take them back off. But no one ever said life was fair.

Welcome Virtual Running Buddy

Welcome Virtual Running Buddies!

Enjoy this site-- or at least the experience of watching me try to get back into shape after many years off. The goal is to find motivation to lose some weight, start exercising again, and, somewhere along the line, see what shoes I'm wearing without sucking in my gut! Ha! We'll see how Day 1 goes.

Calling on you to get in shape!!

Here we go. A partnership that enables you to encourage, or harass, your virtual buddy to become fit enough to run in races throughout the world, either physically or virtually.
