It has to start somewhere

Today sitting at my family reunion I spent some time talking to my cousin that has taken up triathilons. That's just nuts! Everytime I see someone I know out running I always ask them "Hey, where's the bear?" The ONLY reason to run is from something, such as a bear. Today as I sat looking at my family and their state of obesiety, I decided that I'm tired of being fat and need to make a change in my life.

I'm 36 years old and I've decided that I want to run a marathon before I turn 40. I don't run, I hate running. Even when I was in the Army I hated to run. But I have to do something. Living in Eagle Mountain, Utah there isn't much I can do, but I can run.

I know that to really start running I'm going to need to get some gear and do some research. I'm not sure when I'll start, but I've never been so determined in my life to so something.

My wife thinks I'm nuts.
