While still on the topic of change I thought I would share something that will require significant change on my part.  My sister, Angela, will be turning 40 in slightly less that 2 years.  All she wants for her 40th birthday is to run/walk 40 miles with her friends.  Lucky for her, there happens to be a 24 hour endurance race on her birthday and she believes that not just she, but we, can complete 40 miles during that time. 

I have agreed. ( I do believe she waited to ask me after I had drank half of my sangria.  I am just saying that if I were to back out that any sane person would understand that I was practically coereced into agreeing under those circumstances).

As I was saying, I have agreed and it will take a significant amount of running to prepare for this endeavor.  This does mean change, because as of right now...I am not running.  I can run.  I do run.  I could even churn out 5 miles right now if I had to, but 40?  Nope, it's going to take some serious change.  See week 1 schedule below:
Day 1  Find treadmill under clothes
Day 2  Enter stats into treadmill
Day 3  Clean up workout room
Day 4  Oil the treadmill
Day 5  Print out motivational quotes
Day 6  Rest
Day 7  Rest

Okay, so I am still in the contemplation stage and only thinking about the preparation stage, but I will get there, one step at a time. I will keep you posted on my progress.
