Hitting the Road

So after my crazy diet following, many of my friends tried it out for themselves for 7 days.  There was a mixed bag of success in the bunch, but as far as I know, no one regretted trying it out.  I have in fact gained some of the weight back.  I am happy to report however that it has only been 2 pounds as of yesterday.  With that, I have officially been at wedding weight since mid-June.  That's huge!

So now I have a new goal.  I have registered to run my first half-marathon in October.  Seeing as blogging the diet kept me honest, I decided that I would blog this new adventure.  For those of you who don't know; my New's Years Resolution this year was to run in 10 races in 2012.  So far I have completed 5 of the 10.  I've had an amazing time so far and feel like this might actually be the first resolution that I keep.

So as cool as it will be to complete a half-marathon, I still have 10 pounds I'd like to shed to reach my ultimate goal.  (That sounds so much better than the 30 I started with!!)  I'm hoping that not only will I have completed 13.1 miles in October, but I will finally reach my goal weight.  It's only 12 short weeks away.

Now I will NOT be blogging after every run.  No one wants to read that.  But perhaps each week...  We have all created excuses on why we can't exercise or that there aren't enough hours in the day to complete everything.  I will be training for this half-marathon (approx. 200 miles of training), going back to school to get my 6th year, raising 3 kids all while holding down a full time AND a part time job.  Thank God my husband supports my craziness.  This should, if nothing else, be a comical adventure...
