It begins again

The training starts again for the SLC 1/2 Marathon.

I have been toying with the idea of a full marathon

but I think we will stick with the half marathon for this April.

So before the regular training chart starts,

I am getting my running lungs back into shape.

Today on my 2 mile run it felt good.

And the most surprising fact is I decided I actually

really love to run.

I never thought I would get to that point.

I have enjoyed the benefits of running, and

achieving goals I never thought I could.

But love it?

Now I do.

It supplies me with a new fresh breath for the training.

I am excited to push myself harder

and see what other limits I can surpass.

80%

Are we for real?!

80% of what we eat is how we look.

This concept is by far the hardest thing for me to grasp.

It needs to soak in.

Soak in real nice and deep.

I love to work out hard. Make my mind suffer. My sweat drip. My muscles ache.

But food... Can't resist the stuff.

I want to try.

I want to try hard.

I have done it once before.

I ate when I was hungry.

Truly hungry.

And when I ate it was good healthy stuff,

not like the yummy Ghiradelli chocolate squares like last night.

So here is to 80% of what we look like.

I can do this.

You better believe I AM going to do this!

And if not for anything else... I have a 1/2 marathon I want to do well in.

Do I dare say under 2 hours?

That may be absolute insanity talking.

We shall see.

Until then.

Happy 80% to look 120%!!
