LOOK OUT GUYS! I am going for the big one this time!
I am "IN TRAINING" now. I have just a few weeks till'
the big run in Twin Falls with my sister Carlee....
it is the "Rim to Rim" run and it benifits the Habitat
for Humanity program there in Twin Falls. I have yet to
get a lot of details but as far as I know it is a 7.5
mile route (walk and or run or combo) and you shoot for
your personal best. I *KNOW* I'll never make a full 7.5
mile run but I am going to do my dangdest to get a good
portion of it done by running. Yesterday I started my
'official' running training and did a 3 mile run on the
treadmill with a couple of wee wittle walking breaks.
I hope to push it hard tommorrow and get more in. I'd
like to do a decent time in the race and hope to break
some personal barriers in the midst of it all too!
So, cheer me on guys, I am running every other day and
doing my strength training and other stuff (bike, ellyptical
and so on) on the in-between days! This is going to be a
challenge!!!
FUN STUFF! Right??

You, Cindy and some of the others have been my inspiration to lose weight: I am down almost 14lb.s with another 14 to go to goal weight.
