Well, boy or boy, this has been a journey within itself.  It has been more like getting back on the horse.  I've started the couch to 5K podcast, I just completed week 2 day 2, yesterday.  It feels great to run again, I noticed I can run a little faster than I had been.  

The speed is needed for my heart as well as for weight loss.  I have to train the heart, as well as for the body to let the fat go.  I've scheduled and have a plan for a 5K in April and I'm hoping to take my fitness test in July.  I was hoping to take in August but they probably won't let me. 

It will be hard to train next week due to travel, but I have to at least get one day of running.  I can take my 'travel' workout with me for the other days.  Part 2 of 45 days will be even stronger.....
