The Journey...

I started this blog in 2010 under the title "The Fat to Fit Chronicles" to document the training for and completion of my very first half-marathon. My decision to train was the first step on my journey from fat to fit. In my former life I was 319 lbs, depressed, and living a "less than" life.

Over the course of training I discovered a passion for fitness and helping others. So this blog has morphed into something more than just my musings and venting. My hope is that when you leave this blog you have learned something or picked up something valuable to aide you along your own journey.

So mount up, Posse, and let's go from Fat to Fit!!

Oh boy!

Tuesday, July 13th was my "rest" day and I needed it b/c I was thrown for a loop. Life changes on the horizon, but it's cool. I'm not upset or afraid, just praying for guidance.

On another note, training is going well so far. On Wednesday I incorporated some strength training into my routine using sets of 21s. Afterwards I did two laps walking, two jogging (Yes, I jogged two laps continuously) and finished with 2 more laps walking. I definitely should have spent more time stretching b/c I was feeling it in my pectorals and whatever muscle is in my arm that is used when opening your arms wide (like doing a fly).

On Thursday, July 15th I timed myself at a 19min mile. I'm a little disappointed b/c I was really shooting for a 17 min mile. For the half, I really want to get my pace between 16-17mins per mile walking, so that the jogging is "extra" and I can jog to make up for time lost.

Anywhoo, I have to do better about blogging. . .
