I love running, I mean I love running. But why oh why is it so hard for me to get out there and do it right now.

There is always an excuse...

My work schedule, Spending time with my fiance that I never see as it is, spending time with family and friends.

I wish my family, friends, and fiance liked to run. It would make life a lot easier than having to choose. It's hard to choose me sometimes.

Running gives me something like nothing else has. I have to keep at it.

Today I am really going to start this running/fitness blog. I have wanted to do this for years. Today I am going to make it happen.

Today is ten weeks until my next half Marathon. I am not in the best shape. I have been struggling with motivation. I love running, I love the way it makes me feel. It's just those 5 minutes before I walk out the door that are a struggle.

Running races is the key to help me. If I paid for a race, start talking about the race, I will do the race. I am competitive so I will train for the race.

It's funny how we convince ourselves of things. Like I was positive that when I took up running I would be skinny. Well I trained 5 months for a full marathon and gained 5 pounds.... Yup I was that girl.

Well this is the start to what I hope helps me and others in the joys and pains of running and being healthy...
