It is Time

Well step one, went to a site to get a schedule of where I need to be to be ready to run a half marathon. I am not saying that is what I want to do yet but I want to train to be ready. I really want to do more triathlons. But I need a plan and I don't have a pool in my backyard. So I figure that on this schedule there is time for cross training and swimming will be one of those times. I figure running is something I can do any time for the most part if the weather permits. But then again if weather is snowy and I can't get to the gym, I ski. Got a whole wonder land in my backyard. At least I have a schedule to follow and I am not wandering aimlessly. I do better when I have goals.
I have signed up for my first race for the new year. St pat on the 2o of march. I have registered for the 8 k instead of the 5 k. It is time to step it up. Registering now is cheaper and commitment is made. Figure on my running schedule I should be very well prepared by then. Looking at losing 15 lbs by then too. Oh how the weight can creep back on so fast. It is amazing how I started this weight loss journey almost 4 years ago. I feel good that I have keeping it off for the most part. I do see the older I get the harder I need to work at it and the body can be some what unkind to injury too. I feel sore sooner than I use too.
Yesterday I went swimming, last time I swam was about a week and a half ago. I woke today to sore shoulder blades. I have to learn to stretch more. Going to incorporate weights too. Got to look up a schedule on that too. Oh how I wish I just had a personal trainer to all the background work. But that is what this week is for. I call it transition week. Getting all the crap food out of the house. Working out a do able schedule and setting some races and goals to a calender. I feel good. I feel ready. Time to clear out the mind and go! Will not be one of those people who has every excuse for why they can't or won't exercise. I have decided to be an inspiration to my patients, know that I can make a difference other than in their mouths.

I am Here

Wow haven't blogged in a while. Surely not because I didn't want too or I had nothing to say. I have plenty to say. Mostly time has not been that kind to me. I have been behind the eight ball for many weeks now. My fault maybe. Busy doing important things or not so important. Depends on how you look at it. I know that I have thought a lot about where I am going and where I need to be. I think when I run. It is the best time for to work out a lot of problems, situations, life. Though the weather has now taken me to the gym. Not a good place to think.
Any way running two days a go outside I made some decisions about how and why. Need to work on the details of all of this and I will write them as I feel the need. Reflected on this past year. The good, the bad and ugly. Need to make the bad and ugly not that way. Need to put that in the "just stuff" category. It is what it is and move on. Life is short -Are you doing what you want? Need to rethink that. Time to set more goals. Physically, mentally and spiritually. Problem I see already is the order. Got that one screwed up already. Got to work on that. Reflect and write it down. Make Time!
