So on top of losing weight I want to be able to run a half marathon with my dad next year. My dad doesn't know this yet but yes dad we are running a half marathon next year. Of course I am starting slow by training for a 5K then working my way up. There is a great program here in Salt Lake called Team in Training http://www.teamintraining.org/. We can create a team if anyone wants to join and we are raising money for Leukemia & Lymphoma research.
They provide a hands on training regimen, nutrition and injury prevention. The also hold weekely team workouts to help keep everyone on track. You can challange yourself to complete a marathon, half marathon, triathlon, hiking, or 100 mile bike ride. Yes, I am scared to death but everyone in my family have always been active in running and I want to join them. I may need a breast reduction so I don't hurt myself :) but hopefully the weight loss will help with that. Josh thinks I am crazy about this whole weight loss and work out deal. I am a little obsessed right now. I am scared to death of gaining back what I have already lost but I feel good. I started running yesterday and it wasn't to bad. I workout at the gym in the hospital (thank you IHC for saving me $40 a month on a gym membership). The guy on the tread mill next to me helped keep me motivated even though he didn't know it. Its harded to give up when someone is watching you.
