Knowing this day was coming, I sat on the edge of the sofa around midnight and ate the last of the ham salad on pumpernickel while watching Sportscenter. Earlier in the day I had eaten two donuts as kind of a "last supper" of sorts. I topped off my midnight snack with the final can of ginger ale. Dunkin, our youngest cat, was in my lap trying to get as close to my sandwich as possible. He seemed to know something was ending and something was beginning.
Anytime you start something new, you also end something. So, as I start training for the Indy Mini-Marathon I will start running further, start eating healthy more consistently, and hopefully start dropping some pounds. What am I ending? Well, ham salad at midnight for starters. Who knows what else? Poor Dunkin won't be trying to get in my lap to eat veggies, healthy soups, and more fruit.
I found a training program online that I will try and stick to. And, I started this blog - not because I think I have anything interesting to say, but more as a way of holding myself accountable.
So, with this entry posted, tomorrow will begin the long and lumbering steps towards somehow running for almost 2 hours without attracting vultures. Gotta to start somewhere.
Peace,
Run Rhino
