Great Strides!

Well, after 30 years of absolutely no exercising whatesoever I have turned over a new leaf. Help me pray that I can keep it up.  I joined the Y last week and actually started going.  Back in College... before 1979, I actually "worked" at a Gym (they were called Spa's back then.) But, I was blessed with a great metabolism and good health and therefore didnt feel the "need" to workout. But, since I crossed over the 50's hill things have slowed down and I started feeling pretty miserable. 

So I am happy to announce that in the past 7 days I have walked 11 miles!!!  And, I just signed up to walk the "Great Strides 5K" sponsored by Lee University for Cystic Fibrosis on March 27th.  It's a start and I hope to start feeling stronger and healthier after the soreness and tiredness wears off. haha.  I won't get a medal (like Fred always does) but I will get a Tshirt!
