13.1 DONE!!!: givin up? starting fresh? I cant decide.

-
well...
I planned to do 13.1 miles for 13 months in a row.
I had 2 months down and then a can of pineapple attacked my toe.

have I told you I have decided it IS broken?
I managed a few runs since then but still with a little pain.
Yesterday I ran at track practice for a few laps and it hurt... not so bad I couldnt run but bad enough for me to wonder if I should attempt 13.1 today.

I am not sure what I want to do.
I can't decide between giving up or going for it.

right now I am waver back and forth.
I must decide. Do I want to do 13.1 walking/jogging know I will be out there for 2.5 hours today ... or do I want to wait and have to start over.

I am giving myself until 2 today to decide.

UPDATE:
Ok. I have decided. I am going to do 13.1 today if it takes me forever. I am just back from finishing 5 miles in 59 mins. and I am averaging 11 min per mile which is WAY off my usual pace.
I am home now after the 5 miles with a stupid stomach ache.

Update:
ok.. have another mile down and had to come home again because of stomach.

I WILL FINISH THIS TODAY. I am almost half way. almost

UPDATE:
I finished.

What a miserable half marathon it was. I wanted to quit so many times. My stupid stomach was just miserable. But I was determined to have a half done for this month and I now have 3 halfs down and 10 to go to my goal of 13 halfs in 13 months.  :)

I have lots to write about but will wait until tomorrow... we are off to a little new years eve party so not enough time tonight to write my goodbye to 2011 post.

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 ...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...
