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!!

Day 55 (IKR!! Can't believe it!)

Hellllooooo world!!

Feeling awesome--but still a touch nervous about the 15k this weekend. I'm just getting my regular training in this week and praying like crazy that I can complete the 9.32 on Saturday. Even if I'm the very last person so what, at least I will finish (right???).

Yesterday I had a great session. It was supposed to be my "easy" two miles but instead I did about an hour of a sort-of interval session--I alternated walking two laps and running one. And I'm talking actual running, not jogging :) It felt good to put a little speed into the mix. My knees help up well so I think my goal of running a half-marathon in the spring is realistic.

On another note, I'm thinking of starting an "active" group focused on just being active and fit. I want to see if any of my friends & co-workers would be interested. We shall see. . .

Today my plan is to cross-train (using my circuit from an earlier post) and then Wednesday get my mid-week 5miles in (not looking forward to waking up at 4am).
