The beginning...

We all know that all sorts of things can wreak havoc on our bodies and mine is no different.  I wasn't very active as a kid, but I still kicked butt and at one point I could run 1.5 miles in under 13 minutes Now that's not going to be breaking any records with that, but that's pretty good.  Then I injured my knee.  Long story short, it took a long time for anyone to figure out what had happened to it.  And I quit running.  I haven't actually tried to run in nearly 5 years.  I have gained a lot of weight since the injury.  I've been through a depression, gained weight.  I had a child, lost weight at first, but gained it all back soon enough.  I've been fluctuating ever since, but only plus or minus 10lbs, not near how much I need to lose. 

Well I have big news.....  I am about to begin my Odyssey!

I got myself a good pair of running shoes today.  Can't wait to break them in!!  I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how to post pictures on here.
