My starting line: January 2011. I am 46. About 20 lbs. overweight. And haven’t run continually since before my first daughter was born. My goal: Sunday, October 16, 2011. The Nationwide Half-Marathon in Columbus. More energy. A healthier future.

January 30 "Nothing"
Nothing really new. It is damn cold out, that's all. I have been staying away from fast food. It is amazing how many opportunities afford themselves to this option. It's just so convenient ... by design of course. That said, I cannot say that I have been eating all too well either. Just normal, I guess. I have been doing push ups and arm curls with weights several times a week. Yeah, I'm taking it slow. But I believe that that's the only way I can slowly adapt to a newer, better lifestyle. The half is now less than nine months away. I need to sign up at the Westerville Rec Center soon so I can start running inside. And, perhaps most importantly, I need to set a firm start date to start running outside. Maybe St. Patrick's Day. This endeavor may be bigger than I first imagined. But I am determined to accomplish it, God willing. And, I know that the Ron that will cross the finish line come October will be a vastly different one than the one who is typing this blog post one a cold January Sunday morning. I so look forward to meeting him.
