The Journey Begins

I've decided to start a blog. Not because I really want to be a blogger, because I don't. I've never even been a fan of blogging. But I need a place to go to talk about things I do, update my family on Therin, and just generally keep track of my everyday life.

My life's not really all that exciting. I work from home so I can be with my baby boy. I transcribe, edit and evaluate websites. The most important thing in my life is God and my family, in that order. So you'll probably see a lot of talk about Randall, Therin, and my church family.

Another reason I decided to start this blog is that I want to track my fitness goals. Yes, I've tried many times to have "fitness goals" and each time has had varying degrees of success. My hope is that by having a physical place to talk about my journey and by allowing others to see what I'm doing, I'll have more stick-to-itivness this time around. Plus I can see my progress and keep myself motivated.

My ultimate goal is to run a marathon but I have little mini goals along the way. My first mini goal is to walk for 30 days straight. That will help my legs and feet get used to the pounding that comes from walking and running. It will also test my motivation to keep with something.

So yesterday I took a nice long hour walk with Therin to the bank. Today I took nearly an hour around the neighborhood. The first 2 days are done.
