Fat Girl Jogging!
Ok…I started the C25K last night and I did something I told myself I wouldn’t be able to do. I ran, ok jogged. Only 60 seconds at a time, and no I wasn’t fast as lightning (probably more like slow as molasses, cause that is as slow as my a** is). I also felt good about a result from that and you would never guess it so Ill tell you, I was sweating like crazy and… I liked it. You have to understand, I don’t like to sweat, normally. I don’t like to feel sticky, stinky and gross, usually. But it was almost like some sick reward. It told me I did something to earn it. Yay!
Now I just pray my knees, shins and ankle hold up. They are a little achy, mainly my ankle. I injured my ankle in a 4 wheeler mishap last August. Ok technically I was getting OFF the 4 wheeler and it happened 
Just doesn’t sound as daring…hee hee. My brother had rolled his and in my rush to stop and get to him I stepped off mine without looking down. My right foot stepped on a rock and my ankle rolled…next I knew, I was on the ground wondering what happened to me. Kinda like I am now with my life. Anyway, he was ok and now I wasn’t. We had to ride back out, about 20+ minutes, over rocky, bumpy, bouncing trail. It took a loooong time to heal and didn’t heal right because I have a doctor who doesn’t LISTEN sometimes and I am stubborn…just a little…ok a lot.
Well, I got completely sidetracked :) I REALLY want to accomplish this…maybe I’m still on an adrenaline rush or something cause that is unlike me. I’ve never been athletic. Growing up I would play football with the neighborhood kids, mostly to get tackled by the boys 
and would ride my bike all over. In high school it was a lot of walking, to and from school was a couple mile each way (no not up hill both ways) and always walking to nearby Civic Center, a beautiful place with a Mansion to explore (you cant anymore), huge open field, gardens to walk thru, trails in the woods that led to a creek, tennis courts and the best sledding hill in winter. So I wasn’t athletic but I stayed moving. I do believe I’ve gotten sidetracked again. I was just excited that I did it and am excited to do it more. I wanted to share that with you all because I know here more than anywhere else, you understand what it means. Whether it’s the first step or completing a goal, you understand what it means. Someone else can be happy for you, but you really get what it means. I love you guys and all the support. I’m facing some MAJOR personal issues this week and ask for your prayers and also that God would allow my body to hold up thru the emotional and physical. Thanks buddies!
