Today's the first day....

So I am completely new to running - I have had several affairs with running over the years but nothing too serious. I have been enamored by people who run marathons or go on a casual, easy 9 mile run!! Gosh, I consider an easy run one of only 3 miles. I have done a few 5k's but am hoping to beging a journey to bigger and better things! I have also sturggled with losing some weight - I am probably 20 pounds overweight and am no longer happy with myself and would like to be more comfortable in my own skin! Today I did some upper body weights for 30 minutes and some core work. I added a blog roll to show some of the people blog's that I have read on and off...and they have inspired me that I to can become a runner!
