As If I Needed Another Physical Challenge...

Just as the title points out, I have decided to embark on another physical challenge. I'm not quite sure why I keep getting myself involved in these things but the thought of pushing my body to limits it has not experienced does something for me. I can't explain what exactly.

So for the next physical challenge...I decided to run the Tallahassee Half Marathon on February 6, 2011. I know, I know...I have alot of time to get ready for this. I am pretty nonplussed about the training that I am going to have to endure though I am not looking forward to all the "cold" Tallahassee miles I'm gonna need to run to get ready.

Today marked the begining of my journey. I decided to take my dog, Lola out with me for company. She did well despite having several run-ins with other dogs and a few squirrels. I did even better on this 45 minute run, I think. Now a couple of Ibuprofen and a warm shower later, I am ready to sit down with the wife for dinner and continue reading The Joy Luck Club.

I failed to mention that I am not Facebooking or watching any TV this month which is probably where the impulse to register came from. Pray for me, I REALLY miss TV. And since I'm not on Facebook for a minute, I'm a little sad that no one is going to read this until December.

Until then, I'll keep you posted on my progress.
