The Story Begins... Again

Hello everyone!

For those of you who have not been following this blog, I began writing here for a reason. Running changed my life and helped me lose 45+ pounds. Recently, I found my motivation again. I have decided to start listening to my own advice. As of now, I will start training. It is my goal, by January 15, 2015 (One year from today), to have run a half marathon. By May, 2014, I hope to have run at least a few 5ks to help get me back into the running routine. My goal probably does not seem relevant to you, but I hope that by training for this race, I will be able to better help you become better runners. From here on out, I will be posting updates about my progress. By doing this, I also hope to inspire some of you to run with me. If you are interested in running a half marathon, or you have a similar goal in mind, you might even be able to join me in my daily routine. If for any reason you don't think you can keep up with me, keep in mind that I have not run (consistently) in about 2-3 months. This is a new start for me, a new goal, and another chance to better myself. Below I have posted the training plans that I will reference for my own training schedule. I will do my best to post weekly running schedules for all of you following along with me as well. Stay posted next week for the beginning of my journey.

Wish me luck! (I'll need it)
