Day 65 = Running + Mamma Mia

Mamma Mia! Here I go again....

This morning, I was hell-bent on getting my notes together to move my invention idea forward, which I hope will one day become a prototype so I can sell it for millions of dollars and then be all over the Oprah and Donny Deutch shows inspiring people. Seriously! You are gonna want to get in on this venture early. First thing's first: conquer procrastination.

It's Day 65, and not that I'm bored or anything, but as a little distraction from my invention pow-wow at my dining room table, I started to plan out my workouts. When I trained for my first marathon in 2007, my friend Amy (see previous blogs) sent me the book by Jeff Galloway called "Marathon." It's kind of dated, but the information is still substantial. I pulled out my old 30-day dry erase calendar and filled in a workout for every day for the next month based on Galloway's training program for running a marathon for weight loss. Starting today, all I gotta do is walk/jog for 30 minutes. I've proven that I can do more, but I will never forget that there used to be a day 8 years ago when I couldn't even run one minute without stopping. Now, I can run miles without even thinking about it.

So here I go again, training for a marathon it looks like (or at least following the plan). Out of curiosity, I looked up what marathons might be going on about the time this Galloway program ends, and there is a lovely marathon in Athens, Greece. And it just happenes to have a Galloway tie in! I am seriously considering signing up. What is stopping me?

The pic is of us at Christmas; somehow we (me, mom, Courtney and Pat) all ended up with "Mamma Mia" DVDs. Happy Mother's Day, mom. I love you.
