Run "Jen-A" Run

Five years ago when I turned 40 years old - I was in the best shape of my life and have since gradually returned to being in quite possibly the worst physical shape of my life.  I have started and stopped many different plans in those 5 years which has only led to making me feel like a failure and that I no longer have the energy to devote to taking care of myself in this way and keep up with work and the family.

HOWEVER, I have committed to stop filling my mind and spirit with lies that I can not do this and decided to try.  Put one foot in front of the other and try.  And then each day - put one foot in front of the other a little bit faster.  That's all you gotta do, right?  :-)

I am looking forward to this journey.  I am not happy about my starting point and honestly I'm a little bit grouchy about it.  I'm hoping and praying it becomes easier faster because my mind is still not ready which is truly half the battle.  Why does running have to be such a mind game?  UGH!   

To win the mind game, I've decided to run and raise money for Barefoot Republic to help me stay motivated.  This will accomplish two goals - raising scholarship money to help send some kids to camp who can't afford to go on their own but also if you invest in me (i.e. Barefoot) I won't want to let you down either.  So, your support gives me accountability to making this possible and proving to myself what I tell my kids all the time - "I can do anything if I set my mind to it".
