O.k., I usually do not write down any of my resolutions for all eyes to see because I don't want to be embarrassed when I fizzle out in February, but I really need to accomplish some exercise goals this year, so I think I want a little accountability! So here goes: I want to do the Casa Grande Triathlon in November, but I am in ZERO shape. I haven't worked out since before Mitchell was born and I'm scared out of my mind!! I can't run without losing control of my bodily functions and I only do the backstroke (I'm too scared to put my face in the water for any extended period of time, I blame this on my fear of water that I developed as a 6 year old child when I watched JAWS -- so scary, I even look for sharks in pools!!). So needless to say, this is going to be quite the adventure. I figured I'd start with the running, so I'm starting couch to 5K this week. I loved the name of the program, because I am definitely sitting on the couch! So wish me luck and say a prayer that I make it through the first week.

You ought to talk to Natalie. She's our marathon expert. She has a breakdown of training; how to slowly work your way up from 1 mile to wherever you need to be.
