A journey of my fortieth year. A recommitment to myself and those I love to be a better me.
About Me

- Your 31 Bag Lady
- I am starting a journey that I call "RE" which means that after listing areas that I want to change or improve, I have decided to attack them with gusto to become the Me that I want to be. True to form, I was on fire for the re-newal but started procrastinating around month three and now I have three months before the big 40 arrives. Procrastination in my middle name...or rather, Tina is procrastination's middle name. See? Right there? In the middle? Tina.

REdoing it: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan
Arrrggghhh. I suck. Really, I do. I started out this year with "Yeah,I am gonna run a 5k on my 40th bday...I have a year to train, nuthin' to it..." but the reality is, I bit off more than I could chew in several areas. So...I still have 4 1/2 months to train. I think I can do it. It is a little over three miles. I think I can do it. I think I can I think I can I think I can...chugga chugga puff puff. I visited my fave website for this very training, it is www.coolrunning.com The Couch-to-5K Running plan or c25k for short. You train three days a week...walk, jog, walk, jog, walk, jog. Here is my teensy predicament. I am tired. So tired. The kind of tired that makes you wonder if someone slipped something illegal into your water bottle. Doc says low iron and possible anemia. I have been eating ice like I will never have the chance to eat it again. Killlin' my teeth! Here is the challenge: Will I use this as an excuse to not train? I can't! I will never turn 40 again and running on your 41st bday doesn't look as good on a tshirt or facebook post as running your first 5k on your 40th. So,I must get thy bootay to the gym and hit the treadmill. Walk, jog, walk, jog, walk, jog.
