New goal!

I've wanted to rollerblade for a long time, but I could never find skates that fit. Today at Goodwill I found a pair for $8 in my size, so of course I snatched them...and then was so excited I tried them shortly after I got home. That was an experience.

I now need to conquer my rollerblades and skate like a pro. Or at least decently.

only the beginning....

I ran with my brother today. He has decided he is my personal trainer for marathon-training. It's totally helpful too, because if I wimp out on running, you can bet he will be thoroughly obnoxious about it until I change my mind. Plus, if I have 8 1/2 years to train for a marathon...I had better start now. We ran/power walked for about 25 minutes today and I was panting and bright red and...yeah, it wasn't pretty. I think I should have started training earlier.
