So, what's this craziness all about? If you know me, you know I'm not a big fan of exercise or sweating...typically. But earlier this year I set a goal to run a 5K race, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I trained..I had to..since I'd never ran before. I kinda liked it. It felt good to have a goal and reach it. It felt great to push through and force my body to submit to me! It felt good to lose a few pounds and fit into my jeans a little better.
And, then, I heard about this guy from my church who set and attained a HUGE goal...He ran 40 miles in one day on his 40th birthday. Okay, that's just awesome. Especially since, apparently, he started out a little like me, not a huge fitness enthusiast. Just a guy who wanted a little lifestyle change and bam...a new love was found.
So here's my modified version to fit into my lifestyle and fitness level.... Train for and run enough races to add up to 40 miles by my 40th birthday.
My birthday is in August...so I actually hope to accomplish it before then since it's only about 115 degrees during the middle of summer in Charlotte.
So, there, I said it. I've made it public. It's all out there.
