Well, my friend canceled the half. She had some difficulties and could not train. We are rescheduling for the fall. Meanwhile, I joined 24 hour fitness. I was having a hard time getting up to go before work. Today I finally made it. Got there and ran/walked on the treadmill for 17 minutes. Friday I am going to try and better the initial run and the total time. baby steps. But still having to push myself so that I increase my run time, speed and endurance. Now to find a new half. We may still do the wounded warrior just for training. Run as much as we can and then walk the rest of the way.
I got the body bugg. Damn thing does not work. Tried to take it back. I mean who spends $215 on something that doesn't work. They told me I could not get a refund. Bullshit. Instead the manager of the club is going to get on the phone with technical support and figure out with them why it does not work. So far I am not impressed. The manager is also going to give me a couple of training sessions for my trouble.

Crap, not again
So I have been very silent lately. I got plenty of positive feedback. A lot of suggestions that helped. But now I have lost my running partner. I know that I can not do this alone. I will not do it alone.
Now I have a personal thing that is really hard. I have a lot to think about and a lot to work on. So I am just going to go with it, do what feels good and concentrate on me. So I will try to get up in the morning and do Insanity. This is until I can afford a gym. Once I get the gym membership, I will alter my workouts. At night I am going to work with the dogs and run/walk. Who knows, I may decide to do the half anyway by myself depending on how this all goes. This next few months are going to be hard. I may falter, I may shine. Not sure. I just know that there are going to be changes. I hope at the end, there will be happiness. For now I am going to be sad for a long time. May not have much on here but my workouts without words. I can't promise what will be here. I am going to try and be positive.

Lunch time run
So I went home at lunch instead of doing Insanity. Ran for a little bit. Doing a couple minutes at a time with a 45 second rest between. Going to try and make sure that I run Saturday a long distance so I will be more prepared for the dash down Greenville.
On a side note, I spoke with DLO. Seems like we may be able to work this thing out after all. At least we both want to try.

The beginning
So I am training for a half marathon. At least I keep saying I am. I have run 2 times. A,Month.Apart. sigh. I need to get motivated to begin. For now I am doing weight watchers and Insanity. I am going to throw in some running here and there. Long runs will be Saturday mornings. This blog is going to be real. Real weight. Real calorie counts. Real weight loss. Welcome to my running blog.
