Howdy Stranger!

So.  Life has been hectic. Nothing new there.  Well, actually there is TONS of new.  I swear, life has really seemed like a freakin soap opera lately.  I kid you not.  If I were to tell you all that has unfolded, you would be like "damn Danielle, did you steal the script from the Days of our Lives?" 

Wait, is Days still even around?  Maybe I should have used Y&R.  I know it's still on, cause my Mom about had a conniption earlier this week.  lol  Anyways.  Yeah.  Things have been cuh-RAZ-y!!

I have wanted to blog.  Blogging is like therapy, only a shit ton cheaper.  It's a good way to 'talk' things out with an almost unbiased audience.  There was that time that I talked about drug users and felt berated by a comment.  So, maybe it's more of a way to get shit off my chest and then have random/anonymous people make me feel either good or shitty about the way I feel.  Small price to pay for some free therapy, right?

I have been a slacker. At blogging.  At exercising.  At eating healthy.  But, I am trying to change all that.

I want to train to run in a 5k.  I want to do the couch to 5k program.  I found one that I really like and started it. I did it a couple of times.  But, then I slacked off.  I want to find someone around here who wants to train with me.  A non-runner that needs to be trained also.  So we can motivate each other.  Push each other to sticking with it.  Find a race that we want to do, and stick with it.  Being a slacker, it makes it much easier to stick with it when you have buddy.

And since I have failed miserably at updating on life with my clan, my 'plan' is to back track to the Summer and do updates.  Things leading up to the wedding. The wedding.  The family moon.  Coming home.  Baseball.  School starting.  And so on. 

Let's see if I can kick my slackerness in the ass and get motivated again.

I just want to tell you that a 5k isn't scary AT ALL. I mean it's scary in the...holy shit I'm going to run for 3 miles....but once you get out and do it. Not hard.
You can TOTALLY do it.

I want to know all that is your soap opera. I don't like that you said it and then gave me nothing to respond with.
I'm a stay at home mom with no real outside life. I NEED this kind of stuff to keep my spirits up.
fuh real.

I'll be waiting with my hand on my ass while you get that written.

I'm local, a non-runner who needs to be motivated to run as well! I've done the couch to 5k once before but really would like to do it more and make it more of a lifestyle. Like most, I tend to put family and life ahead of myself...sigh. Oh well, it you want a buddy, let me know and we can try to work something out. I suspect we are about 20 minutes away from each other.
