Tonight I became a stripper Post 3.3 Miles Baby



LA MARATHON TRAINING #1

Goal: Walk/jog the 1 mile to the gym and run on treadmill for 1 mile

What accomplished: WALKED/JOG/RAN 3.3 MILES!!

I came home to our conversation about the Marathon. R u shocked as I am? He said he’s not ready and that he’s out of shape!!!! I took one look at his monkey loving face (our nickname) and said you are 34 years old….we are doing this for US!!! One year for an eventful one day that we can tell our children about! He said are you serious? I said no shi* sherlock!!!! He said he would “walk” - whoooooooooaaa what happened to the “MAN” who “Ran” from LA to Long Beach???? Nah baby boy, you are going to train with me and we are going to do this - come hell or high water!!!

So I told him we doing this - no if’s ands or buts about it!

So he took off for LA to buy some tires for our car - blow out last night. And I decided to scrap my Athletics training class.

Yep you guessed it-I tested the waters tonight! See I need to take baby steps…SO I did

I took a warm up walk..then started setting goals - to the first stop light - no stop….ok walk….to the next longer stop light no stop…….I continued like that. Before you know it - I was taking a cool down walk around my apt complex on home to stretch out and eat.

WOW! WOW! I didn’t know I had it in me. I was so use to the comfort of the gym I was scared to venture out into the streets! So tonight - I stripped and took it down to skin level. I’m doing this - one baby step at a time.

There is no stopping me now!!! Guys, if you want to come a long for a ride…let me know. We can do this. Jo - today I started living my life!! Thank you hon for opening my eyes with your blog. You are my inspiration!!!!!!!

I will need lots of encouragement from you! So please when I whine -slap me k????
