Ruthie,
I just have to tell how inspirational this video is to me! I found your blog about 6 months or so ago. The original video inspired me to start over again. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, believer that is trying to get fit before I turn 50(next year). I want so badly to run a 5K before I am 50....this is my last chance. I don't want to fail. I look to your blog everyday to find some motivation to continue on. Thank you for sharing your life.

I'm JoAnn and will be 52 yo this summer. I'm overweight...and not just 10 or 15 lbs. And I *walked* a 1/2 marathon two weeks ago. I want to tell you that if *I* can do the starting over at 50+ ANYBODY can... YOU CAN!!! It takes patience and perseverence. It takes the willingness to start over every day. BUT the most awesome thing is YOU CAN DO IT! Please feel free to email, jevans005@gmail.com
Nothings impossible...HE moves mountains :) Hugs!!! JoAnn

I had planned to run today.. but i should have known better.. esp after last thursday and how tired i was after teaching all day :) so.. I will run my 50 mins tomorrow :) this might push my long run to Sunday.. but its all good.. as long as i stick with one day a week then i am just fine with being flexible on my thursday :) eats were good all day today and i felt great. UNTIL we got home i was i tired and we decided to order pizza for supper THEN we made homemade brownies and ice cream after that! .. its all in a good time cause we have some guys spending the night with the boys tonight.. how fun its been for them .. and a joy to hear :) the boy things that go on :) so.. today was "good" and "bad".. but ... i am not upset or worried. or frustrated... no biggie.. I am on track.. i will make progress.. :) i am thinking i might stop lifting weights on lower body for a while though... my legs and tushy are getting good muscle.. but they are getting bigger and not smal...

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

URGH... its taken me FOREVER to get a video up .... I had to keep making it shorter and shorter.. .. it only seems right that a marathon video should be a marathon length dont ya think? .... I finally got it to work :) yipee.. (see below) If it doesnt play when you click the arrow... click on the upside down arrow :) I added this second video... its the same but a bit bigger.. or you can go to vimeo and watching it even larger if you want :) Untitled from ruthie swed on Vimeo . If that wasnt enough for you... heres some text scoop :) first of all friday didnt turn out like I expected. I didn't get all my meals in and I got to bed later than i wanted-needed too. Saturday morning I woke up very tired. I considered just skipping it and running the Marathon another day. I tried to go back to sleep but just couldnt. I got up and left the house by about 610am. I knew this would come back to haunt me.. an hour in west texas makes a big difference when you are talking about morning heat-...
