Boston Marathon bombing

I, like many others, have been thinking about the tragedy that happened at the Boston Marathon.  I was shocked to hear the news today and am deeply saddened by the events today.  I saw many, many posts from people all over that were concerned and wanted to reach out and help the victims of the bombing today.  I will be hugging my family a little tighter, a little longer tonight...so very grateful for all that I have.  Praying for all those involved in the Boston tragedy today.

Pain....

I have mysteriously pulled some muscle or pinched a nerve.  It is extremely frustrating!  I could not hardly walk without pain shooting down my leg for the first couple of days.  By the third day, I was starting to feel better so I decided (not a very smart decision in hindsight) that I should go ahead and try spin class.  By the next day I was in extreme pain and have been unable to complete any type of physical activity.  I am trying to wait, but really want to run today.  I have a feeling if the pain starts to feel better this afternoon I will try running.

First Run

Hello! I am a 45 year old mother of two and have decided to get fit. I have been taking spin classes, but have always wanted to be a runner. I signed my daughter and myself up for a 5K in Nov. of last year. Without any training, we ran (walked some too) and finished the race. I was proud of our accomplishment, but wanted to more. The race left me feeling like I really enjoyed the running, but also left me with a feeling of sadness because I didn't do as well as I would like to have. After that race I was hooked!
