30 = marathon

yep you read it right.....I am turning 30 and I am going to run a marathon. Did I tell you I am a walker not a runner? I tell my friends if they ever see me running call 9-1-1 because someone is chasing me or I am in need of help.
Truth- I watched the biggest loser marathon episode (totally am not a John fan) and after watching the struggle each contestant went through while running and then the emotion they had crossing the finish line made me want to do it too.
SO.......what better way to celebrate turning 30 then to train and run one myself???????????
I started my training yesterday. I printed out a how to start running if you are a non runner like myself and today my thighs feel like they want to fall off because of course I ran more then what they said to do. You might think how stupid right, BUT when you are jogging with you dog and your dog is walking it makes you want to run more!!!! (at least that is what happened to me.) I was of course out of breath and thought do I have smoker lungs??? (I don't smoke-not even socially or when drinking) The only good that came out of the jog was I showed myself that I can run jog and go further then I thought I could and once I can get myself to run the whole 2 1/2 miles I usually walk Kenny is going to join me.(He is a runner-he thinks it is fun!)

I will keep you updated on my running jogging and hope to inspire you too!
