Run, Fat Girl, Run!

That will probably be the name of the sequel to the new Simon Pegg movie (he's the guy from Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead). That is also going to be my mantra for the next few months as I prep for the Army 10-miler. Sunday, Oct. 5, 2008 - me, 25,999 other runners, and at the end...a prepaid t-shirt. I thought I would try this year to do something to prove that I can in fact stay disciplined enough for a few months to improve my overall health and do something that I have been physically/mentally incapable of doing for years...look good in shorts...and wake up before noon on a Sunday. :) All joking aside, it would be a pretty big accomplishment. I've only ever run 5 miles straight, and my back problems would probably prevent me from finishing a marathon, so this might be as far as I can go without overdoing it. We'll see how it goes.
