Franny Runs Day One

Let me give you some background about me. All of my life I have battle weight. I was the pudgy kid in class. I could never run like the others. I could never seem to get enough air in my lungs to do it. I would always get into trouble in gym class for giving up. So I finally just started ditching gym and going to the girls bathroom to smoke with my friends!

Last year, January 31, 2007, I took control of the weight issue and had Gastric Bypass surgery. Since then I have lost 117 pounds...and feel great! I have a ton more energy and feel like I can do about anything I put my mind to!

Well after living a sedentary life for the past 45 years...I have decided to make a dream come true...to become a runner!

Well today is the first day of my serious running training. I am training first for a 5k on the 4th of July, and then a 1/2 Marathon on August 31st. I am going to Walk/Run 3 miles this morning. I will be back in about 1 hour and let you know how it went!
