Begin Again and Again and Again...

Is this the last time I will post a "beginning again" post? I hope so.  I want this so bad.  I want to be a runner. I want to be a triathlete.  I want to finally lose the weight and gain the fitness. I want it, but I always want it.  I have not had a "trigger moment".  You know the one.  You decide not to accept where you are for one more minute.  Not one more second.  I have not had that aha moment.  Truth is, I like myself.  I think I'm pretty awesome!  BUT I could be sooo much better! I had decided to begin on 12/31/12.  I did not want to start on 1/1/13.  I didn't want it to be a New Year's thing.  So, I hit the treadmill and did my first run of my new beginning on New Year's Eve.  And then the hammer dropped.  I woke up on New Year's Day and I didn't feel quite right.  Not "I had a couple of glasses of wine" not right, but, my chest, throat and body hurt not quite right.  So, I did what any...

Mr. Mucus and I are intimately acquainted.  He's a tough guy.  I have been out of commission for what feels like FOREVER!  It started innocently enough, with the Flu.  Which progressed to something like bronchitis which has now settled in as pneumonia.  Grrrr... I am recovering, but slowly.  I would love to bound off of the couch and get out and enjoy the 40ish days Wisconsin has been throwing at us.  However, walking to the mailbox is enough of a workout.  So instead I am bloggy stalking you all and lusting over which races to sign up for.  Only one so far has made it to the check out stage:  Lozilu's Women's Mud Run .  I am totally addicted to mud runs.  Love em.  I am also contemplating signing up for my first tri:  Door County Triathlon .  Ah, so easy to dream, swim, bike and run from the couch ;) Be Well!
