So in a little over a month I am supposed to walk in a 5K for Epilepsy. My Sister-in-law has this and we are going to support her "Go Team Ray!!!"
So my mother in law is having shirts made for us and it's hard not to tell her I need size "Fat Ass" and be my sarcastic funny self because that's how I deal. What I'm most excited about is that I'm actually going to do this. I'm going to walk a 5K. I've said for years that I wanted to get fit enough to finish one. Damn it my time is NOW!!! I'm not waiting any longer.
So back to the topic... where is the good weather... welp not here in Utah apparently. I had an idea to walk from my house to my mother in laws house each weekend until the 5K... so far no bueno. It's a little over 3 miles but it's been so cold that not even my dog wants to touch the pavement. So I'm hoping for some good weather here shortly and I'm revamping my routine. Instead of trying to walk there once a week... I'm going to start off by walking as far as I can in 30 mins 2-3 days a week then doing it again on Sunday (weather permitting). Duane is going to pick me up. Then the next week I'm going to walk as far as I can in 45 mins 2-3 days and then on Sunday... and so forth until I reach my mother in laws house. Hopefully by the time the 5K rolls around I will have walked to my mother in laws house a few times... and then the 5K will be a breeze!!
My next blog update will be about this and what I'm choosing to give up for lent.. Stay tuned!

If you ever want a walking buddy you know where to find me :)
LOL, loved your comment Size "fat ass" But honestly I love your determination. You are going to check off "Walk a 5K" from your list of things to do.
P.S. I miss the warm weather too
When is lent? One year i gave up sugar for lent... just for fun. Maybe i'll give something up this year... Starbucks perhaps? Last month I went 21 days to starbucks... that was over 90 dollars. INSANE RIGHT??? Anyway, let me know.
Oh yeah and by the way. That's a great plan for building up your distance! Man, be careful... once you do that 5K you'll get addicted. Next step, HALF MARATHON!!!!!!! You can do it girl! I know you can!
Lent starts March 9th. I give up something every year. They say it takes 40 days to kick a habit. Lent is 40 days. So I'm hoping this will help.
Jen- Let's plan a walking date at a park or something I'd love that.
Ms. Pretty- I'm pretty hilarious when I want to be.. thanks for the encouragement.
Mindy- Yeah that is insane but not as insane as my fast food reciepts lately gosh! You can do it... I'm hoping that "Training" for something is the key to keep me modivated. I will lose weight... I will get pregnant this year... This is my year.. the Year of Sam!
A baby for you and (hopefully) a baby for me (foster). YAY!!!!
