Journey of a thousand miles

Today I took my first step towards a new healthy life; I acknowledged my current life isn't working. Thus, I have decided to run, both physically and mentally, towards a brighter future. Over the next several months I have decided to conquer the beginning "trifecta" of the running world. I will begin with where I started, completing a 5K, or running s race of 3.1 miles. Then, I will run a 10K (6.2 miles), and complete my running with a half marathon (13.1 miles). I will be recording my training, eating habits, and any motivational experiences I encounter along the way on this blog I hope you enjoy my journey, and that my run inspires you to begin one of your own. I will end this entry with one of my favorite running quotes : Everyday in Africa, a lion wakes up and knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazel, Or it will starve. That same morning, a gazel wakes up and knows it must run faster than the fastest lion, or it will be eaten. However, It doesn't matter if you're the lion or the gazel, when the sun comes up, you better be moving.
