This is the Year of I did's and not I'm gonna's!!!

Trying my damnedest to do at least a few of the thousand things I've always said I wanna do. So far I've been doing fairly well with my work outs and getting healthy and having my bff join the gym with me has defiantly helped too!!

I have always wanted to be a runner, I feel like running would just be so great for me. The other day I attempted to run on a treadmill, something I haven't done in YEARS!! And I did fairly well, only could stand a few min at speed 5; the treadmill then went to 5 and I only did about 30 seconds before i had to jump off. But thanks to freecycle we will be getting a treadmill tomorrow and the plan is to walk/jog/run on the treadmill everyday. All I keep thinking about is Michale on biggest loser and him running a 5K on the treadmill just to push himself and when he did it he just kept going and everyday after that he ran at least 5 miles. That's what I want, and it kinda started happening to me the other day doing as well as I did.

Well every year I talk about doing 5K or Half Marathons and how one day I'd love to do the marine corp marathon so I've decided to compile a list of the "races" I want to do starting with the one I know i will be doing in the coming year.
