The Freshest Freshest Freshest

So, I've begun getting interested in fitness, something that escaped me in my 20s, chain smoking. Several years and 2 kids later, I find myself at 32 and wanting to get "healthy". This implies I want to just get healthy, but truth be told I want to get skinny too. I hate exercise, but I give it a shot- one of those couch potato to 5k workout training schedules. Because my husband is getting into running I think I will give it a try too. reluctantly at first, when I can't run 1 minute without feeling like I'll throw up... But within 2 months, I was running 2 miles, with 2 minutes of walking in there.

Now I've been actively been training since last fall, and I've completed my first race (Holyoke St Patty's Day 10k) and a few 5ks.
But I want to go further. I want to run a half marathon. And then maybe it would be better to look into Triathalons- which look like a fun alternative to a marathon?

So here I am, new shoes in hand, just got a racing suit, and my road bike is coming in next week.
I'm going to try and keep track of my daily exercise regimen, and how the body changes, what works and what doesn't...

I ran a 10 mile run 2 days ago and felt completely delirious at the end. I actually cried a little bit... thinking " My Dad would be so proud of me", One moment later the realization came that I was really the one proud of me....
