JOIN ME?

Kristy and her first love, Sonya, thank you!

I just have to share with everyone a great site from a woman who wrote to me after reading about my journey. If you are interested in any type of endurance sport, especially triathlons, you should check it out. It goes through all the regular myths, such as: I have no time, I can't afford it, I'm too old, I'm afraid.... It also gives great ideas and resources from places like, Twitter, Facebook, Active.com and IronMakeOver.com

From personal experience I know Active.com is a good resource for runners. I found personal training routines, articles on nutrition, testimonies from other runners (newbie or experienced) and lots of other applicable and valuable tips.

Personally, I plan on continuing to run three days each week with a cross training day in between each run. One day a week will be for rest. My goal will be to do a marathon next year. I know if I put my mind to it I can make it happen. Remember, I was not a "runner" until 7 months ago. I am also 56 years old - if I can do it so can you! The greatest thing I can say about running is how it has affected me on the inside. The outside is just icing on the cake. If you take the time to read my entries from the beginning you will see what I mean.

I will still share my thoughts and feelings as I continue on my journey. Thank you to everyone for your support! To those of you who also went the extra mile and donated to Peta in Kristy's honor - a double thank you. Together we raised close to $4,000.00 to help animals. Your comments and notes to me are so encouraging - it has helped me though a time in which I did not know whether I could go on.
