First.. THANK YOU! Last time I took on this challenge the only reason I made it happen was because I knew all of you were keeping track of me. I never felt so good or felt as lucky as I did when I ran that race in Minneapolis almost 3 years ago. However, there is a problem. I was race-ready 3 years ago and I kept it up for about a year, but then I got out of the habit. Now I'm back where I started, so I need your help again.
To those of you who are new to this blog of mine, follow me and you can keep up with my progress. Leaving comments and asking me about my progress help me stay accountable so bring it!
This time I'm planning to run in the Sioux Falls Marathon & Half Marathon on Sunday, Sept. 11. Do you want to join me? I think that would be awesome!
This week's training: (I know it sounds lame)
5 minute brisk warm-up walk, then 60 seconds running, 90 seconds walking. Alternate for 15 minutes.
Total time: 20 minutes.
Soooo... who's with me? Are you going to follow along? Do you want to run with me in September? I want to hear from you! Leave a comment, sign up to follow the blog or just like my blog!
Stay tuned! Training starts on Tuesday!

So it begins...
First, let me say thanks. Thanks for reading my blog. Knowing that there are people out there checking up on me will hopefully keep me on track!
Here's the deal. I'm tired of not feeling comfortable in my own body. I'm sick of how that makes me feel, and I'm tired of thinking about it all the time-because I do. It is a symptom of the culture we live in that women are prone to be self-conscious of their bodies. Don't get me wrong, I consider myself a confident young women, but it is nearly impossible to escape the critical voice in your head (be it your own or someone else's) that scrutinizes every inch of your body. For those of you out there who don't hear that voice, you are a truly blessed and unique portion of the female population. As for the rest of us, I think the best way to mute the critical voice in our heads is to actively do something about it. So here I am at the beginning of a painful journey that will hopefully prove my theory correct: that an active lifestyle that stays active will quiet the jeers of that mean little voice in your head.
