It finally came to me today that unless I paint myself into a corner, I may never actually get my rear in gear and lose the new-and-improved 30+ pounds I've put on with this baby. Plus I got a little extra motivation from a hysterical Seattle writer, on her mom-fitness blog. So. I painted myself into a lovely corner.
I headed down to my favorite runner's shop/resource and asked if they wouldn't like some help with their web site in exchange for some help with my fat ass. Only I didn't say it in exactly those words.
I would love to have myself signed up for a 5K within a few months, and to complete a half marathon within the year. But my real goal is this. When I run, I want all my parts to jiggle TOGETHER. I'm not even asking that they never jiggle. Just that they jiggle in unison, as one unit, up and down at the same time.
I will post some schedules and goals as they develop, for any other crazies who want to get it on the fun with me...
