Finally kicking it into gear!

Things have been standing in my way of getting on the treadmill!!! At least that is what I thought til I got a nice reminder from my uncle to just do it already. I was letting things get in the way of what I needed and wanted to accomplish. That is not O.K. After a wonderful reminder from my uncle that getting on the treadmill would make everything else in my life easier and that I would be able to focus more and gentle nudging from my amazing husband, I finally got on the treadmill today. Spent 15 minutes on it and walked .55 miles with an average speed of 2.5...not bad for a start, but what I am most proud of is the fact that I didn't feel at all overwhelmed or like I was gonna puke when I got off; in fact I felt like I could go longer. But I decided to take it easy and ease into doing more time. The 15 minutes went by so quickly. I just have to remind myself how quickly that does go by...I have 15 minutes x 13 times to go to make the finish line of the half marathon. I know I can do this, especially with all the wonderful support I have in my corner. I feel amazing! I even felt a tiny bit taller walking from the exercise room back to the apartment. This is awesome!

Thanks guys

I have been off of the blog for a couple of weeks because I have been dealing with school, but I have not had this half-marathon far from my mind. I need to get back on track and get on the treadmill and just walk. I have, however, been moving around a whole heck of a lot more as well as attempting to eat better. My health has taken a bit of a hit this week, but I am going to the doctor this weekend to get all my asthma meds and get back on the right track. This is very important to me and I can't let it fall by the wayside the way I have other things in the past. I am very lucky to have Tim who reminds me daily that I have made this commitment and that I need to get up and moving. I am so grateful to all those who are sending me positive vibes rooting me on from where ever they happen to be, and the constant words of encouragement from those (you know who you are) on the various sites I happen to post this on. All of you are making me want this so much more. Thank you all so so much!
