My competition in training or a race is not all the other runners - my competition is that little voice in my head that tells me I should quit.
For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20 NRSV

Try, Try, Try AGAIN

Yep, I am back.

I survived the Run Like a Mother.  My goal was to run and not walk, just like last year.  My partner Beth has all the documentation over at her http://playinwiththepaulsens.blogspot.com/ She carried me through the first 3  1/2 miles and then I don't know what happened but suddenly I had the urge to sprint...so I did.  :) I am sure it was the coffee at the end that I smelled *smile*

We are talking about doing a 10K which is 6.2 miles.  ONLY a little over 2 more miles than the Run Like a Mother.  It is in September so we would have plenty of time to keep running and for me...hopefully to get some more pounds off.  That really is my ultimate goal, to get fit and STAY fit. So, I started my training for the 10K today.  Who is going to check in on me every day and make sure I stay on track??? Any takers out there?

I am back to writing down my food intake today and I am going to try to get back to some weightlifting.

I will try *cough* to get back to my Weigh In Wednesdays.  I know you have all (3 readers?) been on the edge of your seats and missed my posts.

Notice how many times I use the word "try" in this post.  I need to "do", not try! :) Right?? !!
