The Plan

Chuck Norris doesn’t run, the ground moves for him…. Unfortunately, I am not Chuck Norris.

So, what IS the “plan” you ask? Let me explain… 

This year, one of my major milestones is turning 30…Yes 30. I know it is hard to believe, that a girl with such beauty and vitality could possibly be aging this fast. But, the facts of the case are…..one cold November day back in 1982 a star was born.

 I have always been somewhat active, until I gave birth to the pistol we all know as John Franklin. Since then I have noticed that my skinny jeans and boots have turned to mom jeans and sneakers. Things-they-are-a-changing. In my day to day job, I see the effects of leading a sedentary, junk food filled lifestyle. I refuse to be a statistic. 

So, this brings me to the plan. Originally, my BFF Heather (whom I will introduce in the next blog) decided that we would complete a half marathon for my 30th birthday. Well, do you know how much training goes into something like that?!?!?! It’s very detailed and schedule driven. You complete one running program, then you bridge to another. After all the bridging (30-40ish weeks later) you find yourself running a half marathon. So, after a few discussions about all the training that must be done, yours truly came up with the ultimate milestone plan. Being we have to train every week for this, why not take it to the next level and really accomplish something???We decide in 2012 we will complete 12 races. These races will consist of 5k’s, 10 k’s and the “big ole” half marathon will wrap up our year at my 30th birthday. "12 races in 12 months" There you have it, “The Plan” and the idea that is driving it. Sounds easy??Then join us!! 

I promised a shout out to my dear friend who I love to pieces. She is changing her life and I am very proud of her. HEY WECKERLY! 

Coming soon…. 

Who are Heather and LaShay?
