Amy has started running.
I used to love running, but not so much anymore.
I want to love running again. Come to find out I have not only diabetes in my family history, but a history of heart attacks at an early age.
For months I have had this couch-to-5K running plan saved in my external hard drive and eventually posted on my wall.
So today I put each week's workouts on a 4x6 index card so I can easily prop up an outline of my workout on the treadmill at the gym.
It's a nine-week program, and I'll be running indoors only until the spring. (I don't do inversions.)
The idea is to not only lose weight, but to increase my health altogether and have an established running habit before I (potentially) move away to graduate school.
Wish me luck. Join me if you'd like. It will do your heart good. (Mine, too, since I'll know I'm not doing this alone.)
Another goal I've set for myself that's inspired by Ames: Journal keeping. I'm only good at it when it's require for getting good grades in school. Lame. Amy is great at it. So, I'm going to buy myself a new little journal that I can carry with me wherever I go and see what happens.

You are an inspiration. I need to start working out (although it won't be running since I would break my neck.) Maybe speed walking for me.
you are an incredible inspiration. I wish I were more like you in LOTS of ways. Thanks for being an awesome sister.
