I proved to myself that I could move at an aerobic rate for an hour. so today...I went out to run 4 miles and ended up doing..... are you ready for this?????? 4.75 MILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! I really think that I am ready to complete the 5K on Saturday!

Jill - congratulations!! You are going to ace the 5K!!!!!!!! I can't do an hour on the eliptical - I can manage 35 or 40 mins and I am dead after that! I admire your stamina! Jackie

How awesome Jill ... I was talking to Alan and Joann today and I have decided that once my plastics are completed by the end of this year , that I am going to start training for the Iron Man Triathalon . I was there in Hawaii back in the late 80's and my husband at the time stood guard as he was milatary . I had gotten out today and finally ran . I was not supposed to ... but I felt like a benched horse .. so I ran 6 miles ... and did some upper body weight training . I feel like a million bucks ... but Alan has put the stops on it . I hope that you get the chance for the Marathon .. Does VA Beach have any marathons coming up ? Take care ..., and way to go !! Natalie

WOW! 6 Miles!!!! I'm getting there. Funny how quickly the body adjusts. Back in Feb my goal was to do the 5K Race for the Cure. Then, by March, I thought "Maybe I could do the one in June instead". Now, I'm already thinking 8K (definately) in March (St. Patty's Day run) and Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon in Sept (next year). Hey - want to join me for that one???? My only hinderance for next March will be my plastics, because I won't have them until Nov/Dec timeframe and will need a bit of time to recoup. But...once I do....LOOK OUT!

Ok .. I am telling you .. but shhhhhhhhhhh I had just started out running .. and you know how good it feels and the buzz you get .. I could not stop ... the next thing I know I am at the freaking post office .. LOL .. I turned around and ran right home .. Alan about had a cow I tell ya . I had no business running .. really I did not ... but I am fine .. but that is it for me for a while .. once I am healed up from this last round .. my focus will be to get back into full 100 % shape ... I cannot let this money go to waste ya know . I am interviewing some personal trainers in my area now . I want a woman , my age that has the body I want .. and I am going to tell her .. HELP ME ... but she has to know my limitations ... and work me .. I just cannot wait ... So no more running for me ... shhhhhh Nat
