Yeah for mall walking. That's how I began. Doesn't matter with the details or excuses....you got out there and did it. The first steps are the most difficult; but after that it just flows.
I recently retired from teaching and my daughters were concerned that I might get lazy (ha, like that could happen with 4 young grandchildren around). Now, I'm not a small person and I have put on some extra pounds through the years. So, they decided to sign me up for the 5K Princess race (along with themselves so they could have fun too; we are all Disney fanatics). Well, it was the best thing for me. I began with slow walks at the mall; then, outside; and now I have a TM (thanks girls) and I keep up with the walking and exercise. Now, I am not fast nor do I consider myself marathon material but I am plugging along and enjoying the small successes that I have accomplished. Thanks to the boards and sharing my experiences I feel I can do the 5K and maybe even make it in the time allotted. Whatever happens, I am doing more now than I did before and that is all that counts.
So Sandy, in this long winded reply, all I really mean to say is






YEAH
