Yep, it is happening...

So I have sworn off for to many years the making of a New Year's Resolution.

The simple fact is that I was always the one that was afraid to fail. So here goes. Whether I fail or not my New Years Resolution is to be in a half marathon this year. I am shooting for April but I have decided to not put such restrictions on myself. I will give it a year, and at that time I will have completed one.

The first step...

My sister bought me this amazing interval timer for Christmas, the first step is to learn how to use it and get my ass to the gym. I have no excuse as there is one less than a block from my house and it is free.

I will be honest and tell you that I need some encouragement and some accountability. Therefore, I will be getting one here every night to put up my totals for the day. I will tell you how far I ran, my time, my speed, all that jazz.

Now, it may be boring for you so you are not required to keep track. I am doing it as an accountability thing. I vow to be honest on the days that I will skip, I vow to be honest when I have puked my guts out (which I have been assured will probably happen), and I vow most of all to do this for me and no one else.

So here goes... day 1 is tomorrow, Saturday January 1st. See you back here. . .
