Why is it so - - - - hard?!

Planting flowers

Hi. Long time, no see. After several false starts, fits and spits, I hope I am back on track in training for my next race. It has been a long miserable spell of lethargy, minor injuries and excuses. One thing I have discovered during the last year is that I need you... for inspiration motivation, encouraging support, a gentle push (and sometimes a kick in the ass to get me out the door!

Accountability makes me responsible. I think just the weekly embarrassment of posting my statistics motivated me to such a thrilling feeling of accomplishment for the Country Music Marathon.

So here we are. And yes, it is very embarrassing! I think this is the most I have EVER weighed in my life! These are the SLOWEST times I have ever posted! And my efforts to eat healthy and workout consistently are truly pathetic.

I am waddling toward the Kansas City Waddell and Reed Marathon (probably the half) with the following baggage:

Weight: 246 pounds

Last Run: Hospital loop/Jackson

Time: 1:05

Miles: 4.55

I promise I will keep posting.
