I'm nearing the end of my first week of training. This is the first time I've trained for something that no one has suggested for me. I've always been content to take advice and live a "sensible" life, as it was labeled, to pursue only my strengths and not waste my time on things that will never amount to anything. I asked myself a few months ago, what else is there for me? I'm married, I have a beautiful son, nice house/nice cars, I've climbed the professional ladder quickly only to find myself stepping off it for a while to reassess things. What is really important in life? We only get one life and I'm going to start living! That is why the running began. I'm not trying to impress anyone....I run for me.
I began casually running in November 09. With the new year ringing in, I decided that signing up for a 10K would be my first step towards committing to my new year's resolution.....to push myself outside of my box. I purchased a NordicTrack 2550A in January, which was finally functional on February 10th. I'm signed up for a 10K on May 31st. I still can't believe I'm doing this.
This is getting long winded and I've got to go get the little one ready for bed. Next time, I'll blog about my progress so far. Peace out!

Welcome to the blog! Great start so far, and I look forward to sharing my training experiences, and learning from yours. Another Bryant alum, Becky Lafrancois, is also posting or is going to start posting again soon. She's done more races than both of us. :)
