Purpose of this blog

For years my favorite motto has been "use it or lose it". It applies to so many different areas of life, but the main way that I think of this motto, though, is with exercise and getting old. I am 48 and supposedly on the "downhill" side of life. For the last 5 years I have exercised a good amount. I trained and participated in the BP MS 150 for 4 years and did my first half marathon last March. I lived my motto and felt stronger and better than I did in my twenties. So...the big question is, why did I give it all up and stop exercising for the last four months??? I have all kinds of aches and pains and definitely feel older than when I was exercising.



I would like to do several half marathons early next year and need to start from scratch getting back into shape. I'm hoping this blog will be my motivation to get back into shape...it will chronicle the struggle of someone who "lost it" and is trying to get "it" back. Hopefully others will join in the battle to gain strength and get a general well-being back into their lives! :)

2nd Day

2nd day wasn't too bad. I did close to the same as yesterday just a little earlier when the sun wasn't going down yet. It was blasting hot!! Woke up with a little soreness in my thighs, but it wasn't too bad...I've had worse. Ran around the pond at the front of the neighborhood and the same bearded guy who was always at the pond after school last year was there. He beat the pants off me! He ran the entire time instead of walking. Way to go bearded guy!!
