The beginning

I happen to see an article on West Kentucky Star about the Iron Mom 1/2 Marathon in Padcuah http://www.westkentuckystar.com/News/Local---Regional/McCracken-County/The-Mom-Behind-the-Paducah-Iron-Mom-Half-Marathon- and was reading to my husband and mentioned I should try to do that. It would give me something to work for and then I would for sure be able to fit in my dress for Whitney's wedding. His response was, "you should start with something smaller like a few miles." It pissed me off and I told him so. It made me even more to want to do it. So I told him I was going to no matter what I was entering the 1/2 marathon and I was going to work for it just because he doesn't think I can do it. No it won't be easy nothing good in life is easy but it is a goal that I can set for myself and work for and achieve all on my own and show everyone else that I can do it even though I'm 45, a grandma with Rheumatoid Arthritis, overweight, out of shape. I will finish I have to finish in 4 hours and in the mean time I will fit into my dress for my daughter's wedding 2 weeks later after the 1/2 marathon. I will keep you posted and today begins my training on my own.
