And so it begins.

I want a lot of things in life. Some of them I think I can attain, others, not so much. Some of them I have thought about for a long long time. Others, not so much.

This site is about one of the things I want - I want to be a runner. Oh wait - it's about two things I want. I also want to be a writer. This site makes me one of those two things. As to the running - well, we'll see. Together. All of us. Oh wait again - I have no readers. Well, luckily, I amuse myself.

Yes, I want to be a runner. Anyone who knows me - who truly knows me - will be shocked by this. I, myself, am somewhat shocked by this. Really, I am not sure that I want to be a runner, but I am sure of the following:

I want to be in better shape
I want to be thinner
I want to do things for me
I want to have really nice legs and a nice butt
I want to have goals, and accomplish them

Running just seems to fit. Not to mention that the equipment needs are minimal, I can do it at a moments notice, and ... well, that's really all the good things I can think about running.

Bad things, though, I can think of lots of bad things about running. Like the way it hurts. And the way it doesn't feel so good sometimes. And the way it makes you feel. But, this is supposed to be a good thing, so I am trying not to think of those things.

So, come with me, and see if I can turn this slightly overweight underused undervalued body of mine in to a lean, mean running machine.
