So, here's the deal. We all decided that we would do this together. I need the motivation to get up and go rather than sit on my behind at home all day. It is 32 degrees outside and will start snowing tonight - not the ideal running weather. I am committed to not letting myself "lose myself" while going through this. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. It will not only need to stay in tack, but it needs to get stronger. I have been given a treadmill by my second family here in Franklin, TN (Thank you Wrights!!) and am able to still run during this awful weather...and being a Floridian anything below 65 is too cold :)
Here we go.... My training buddies
(Yes, Charlotte is along for this ride, too!)
Our goal is to run a 5K either the weekend before Niki's wedding or the weekend after her wedding. Unfortunately, with my treatments being pushed around like they are we aren't sure if I will still be going through treatments then or not. Hopefully that will all be figured out by then and we will be able to register for a run soon :)
My plan is to start training for the run this week. I ran for the first time in 2 weeks and felt good afterwards. I also am going to try to start my "jillian Michaels" DVD again... haha I know, I know a lame work out DVD.... but 1) I really like it and 2) I can't go to my workout classes I enjoyed going to so much because my white blood cell counts are consistently low which puts me at a higher risk of infections. Anyways, I'm already sore from just one day or completing the DVD and run/walk :) and it feels good! :)
We would love for anyone else to join us!! The more the merrier!! I'm not sure how we will keep everyone updated as we training, but maybe a blog post every months or so...? I'll figure it out :) For now, Run on!!
