My Latest Ventures

Well, a couple of months ago, I joined a gym and then they talked me into getting a personal trainer. The gym membership was really inexpensive but I soon found out the catch...they talked me into getting a personal trainer!! That's where the expense comes in! So, now I have a close relationship with a really nice young man named James Flake who I spend an hour with once a week. He convinced me to sign up for Pat's Run (a 4.2 mile walk/run at ASU to honor Pat Tillman and raise money for the foundation set up in his name that gives out scholarships). I actually did it last Saturday and finished! I only walked but I didn't stop a single time and I finished in an hour and twelve minutes!! I am very proud of that accomplishment because only about 2 months ago, I had had absolutely no physical activity for about the last 20 years!! oorah!! I'm ready to do it again. A 5K is a mile less than that so I may enter some more races. I haven't lost a lot of weight yet but I am losing and I've lost inches. Wish I could go on Dancing With the Stars! lol!
