Running along now

Maybe I should rename the blog "Running alongside streams and rivers".

You see, I am preparing to run my first half marathon.
I am going to be running more and more often that I have ever done.

Quite close to my house runs a cute, little stream.
Not far past that runs the mighty Mississippi river.
So the bright side of this is that I will always have a running partner... 
                                                                                Get it?  haha

Training starts immediately.

What have I done? I am half panicked, half "laisser faire"
(mutters obsenity).  No.   It's mostly panic.


Why oh why have I set this goal, you ask?

Believe it or not, the biggest reason is not fitness.
I am trying to bring my old "go-getter" self back from where ever in the heck it went.
Is this part of me dead? Inconceivable.
In a coma? Maaaaaybe.


So it is make-it or break-it time, Paula. 


I wonder, who will root for me...


Will you?

(broad smile)  Why, thank you very much. 
I promise you that I will really appreciate every bit of encouragement I get!

Well, I better be "running along now"
