Climbing Back on the Wagon

The end of July is coming into view. With it comes the return of my kids and the end of summer. While I've done really well on writing my novel and better updating this blog, I must confess I fell off the exercise wagon this summer. This is nothing new for me. It's very frustrating! I have managed to make writing a part of my daily routine. I have cut refined sugar from my daily diet. But exercise remains that one fatal obstacle. I get off to a good start, then it just fades away. I don't think I've ever exercised regularly for more than six weeks in my life. So once again I resolve to climb back up on that wagon with eternal optimism that I will manage to hang on this time!

Last night I researched 5K events for September and found some events I'd like to do. Once I get my son's soccer schedule I will actually register. I also located a program that takes you from walking to running in 8 weeks. Now, I was an athlete all through high school--volleyball, basketball, track & field--but I have never, never, never been a distance runner. Heck, two laps--880 yards--use to wipe me out! The program looks like it might work and, even if I don't actually get to running, it should help keep me focused for eight weeks!

¡Hasta pronto, mis amigos!
