The Begining

I never thought I would be one to blog, and yet, here I go! My husband and friends are all blogging so, I thought I would join them. I informed my husband of this new venture for me last night and he asked what my blog would be about. Hmmm, it is supposed to be about something? Oh, that kinda puts a wrench in things, what to do? I began to search my brain for ideas, then I found the one! I will blog about my adventure of becoming a runner.

Yes, I have recently become a runner. Actually, my husband Mike and I began "running" with a beginners group about 10 weeks ago! I say"running" because, well, our lungs could handle very little actual running at first, and still we huff and puff quite a bit. So, I say "running" as a very loose term. We really are starting with a walk-run type of training.

So, I will blog about this adventurous part of my journey to becoming a healthier person. I have already learned much about my new sport, however, I have only read one book about it so far. My running adventure is already changing my ideas about long term health, nutrition, and benefits of a runners lifestyle. I am fascinated about learning how our bodies work and respond to how we treat them, hopefully I won't bore you with that! See, when I turned 40, (5 yrs ago) I decided that I was going to live to be 100, a healthy 100yrs. So, this new running life-style I am adopting is all part of that long term, live to be 100 plan...so, here I go!
