I registered for the Fargo Marathon!

I did it! I actually registered for the Fargo Marathon! Thank you Kim Bergman at Center Court Fitness in Grand Forks. Kim told me I could/should do it, thanks for having faith in me!

And my brother in law Jay Nelson for the encouraging words:

"It is really impressive that you are taking an active role in your health. I can't remember how many times I've wanted to quit while training, so hang in there. When I first started 14 months ago I could not run more than 1/4 mile, and I was pretty chubby. But hard work pays off, especially when you are on a race course and everyone is cheering you on. Most people never make it to a starting line, much less a finish line, so when you stand at the start for the Fargo 5K you'll already be a winner. Its not the finish time that counts, its the fact that you had the guts to even start.
Its said that we can live for 40 days without food, 7 days without water, minutes without air; but not a second without hope. So hang in there, and we'll stand together as winners at the starting line.

Jay Nelson"

I am not a runner, LOL, much like Jay~heck, I couldn't run 1/4 BLOCK! I will most likely power walk for most of the 5K, but that's OK! I will be there. I'm sitting here amazed with myself as I type that I'm gonna do this. Wow, I suppose I should start training! :-)

Would love to have you join me, go to the website and register and DO IT WITH ME!

my exercise routine currently:
Racquetball-5 times a week
Strength Training-4 times a week

Take care and I hope and pray I can inspire you to take that step to a healthier YOU!
