I am going to do it

Tomorrow I am going to begin training to run a 1/2 marathon on Aug. 30. My friend Tasha is doing it and I have been running (no pun intended) the idea of doing one though my head the last week. My friend Tasha posted on facebook that she is going to do that marathon and she is going to start training this week. So here I go I am going to go from someone that has never been a fan of running to training for a marathon. I think this is something I need to do. I want to lose some weight and I need to accomplish something and this is something that I am capable of doing. AH I am very excited and very nervous. I am hoping once I start the running that the I will quit smoking as well. If I do this I will not have to worry about the weight gain from quitting smoking and honesty that is one of the biggest reasons that I have not quit.
