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...
