5 AM.........

Yesterday I was feeling under the weather and so was my youngest little one Madi so I did not get any exercise in.  It did feel good to rest and get lots of extra sleep but last night I was itching to get moving.

So today was my first day of my new plan.  I was up at 4:45 and Darla met me at 5:00 for

a walk/jog this morning. It was TOUGH getting up that early but when I was

finally up and moving it felt great!! I love that fresh morning air.  So Darla and I walked (and jogged a tiny bit) for an hour and then we did our P90X workout!!!  I am so excited!

I hope I can keep up with the waking up early!! Feels good!

Last night was the start of another episode of the Biggest Loser - I don't know what it is about that show but every time I watch it I get so pumped and motivated! Now if I could just bottle

up some of that motivation for those times when I feel like I wanna give up - life would be good!

The next run I am planning on doing will be the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot here in IF. 

Mikel has mentioned that he would like to do this one as well. 

- I think it is just a 5k  (I hope it is at least a 5k)  I would like to do a 5k before the end of the year that is about time.  I would like to challenge myself and see how long it takes me to run the 3.1 miles.  So I will probably be looking for another 5k here locally!!  There is a half marathon run on Nov. 11th in pocatello and I keep going back and forth with the question:

"Am I ready to do a half marathon?"

I need to start looking into a training schedule for the marathon in May 2011.  I have about 8 months to get ready for it. I would like to loose at least 40 pounds before I get into an actual running routine.  I think that would help me feel better physically and mentally.  If I can loose that 40 pounds in the next 3 months I would then have a good 5 months to really get into a routine.  I think that'll work!!

  I can do this, I can do this,

I CAN DO THIS!!!
