So it begins!
My very first blog.
Why the name? Well I have spent so many years hanging on to so much crap, so many stories, so many beliefs about myself and my life and my capabilities. It is time to let that go.
OK, so I have decided to start this to keep myself accountable, well, to me. I have done so much work this past year getting through some very old stuff. Now I want to focus on some things that will help me move forward.
My first goal? A HALF MARATHON!!!!
I will be walking the Covenant half marathon on April 3rd in Knoxville.
I started training while on vacation in Orlando and at sea on a Disney cruise. I began walking the treadmill before I even realized I was gonna do this. My friend Nat ran her first half marathon this year and is going to join me here in Knoxville and run it while I walk it.
I began training this week and am following this training schedule...

and today was my first long walk.
It kicked my ass.
I am so out of shape but am determined to not judge or shame myself. I am gonna let go of all the shoulds I have developed around exercise and just have a beginners mind about it all.

Wish me luck!
