yes... that is my goal.

I have a LONG way to go, and initial posts in this gym log are going to be pretty pathetic.

But- I would like to run a marathon by 2005. Really, I don't even want to run it- to run/walk would be fine. I just want to get in shape be able to keep moving for the whole thing. To be able to say I've done it. It's something I've wanted to do for awhile.

A few months ago, I worked at this for 6 weeks, and made it up to a three mile slow walk. I am NOT in good shape. But... I'll get there.

Okay, here's today's accomplishment and this week's goal. To exercise 5 times this week. Today I managed .41 miles in 15 minutes on the eliptical. Not much faster than a crawl, but I was moving. Admittedly, I did not put much effort into pushing myself. But I'm satisfied with the initial effort to get back in the game.

Here goes nothing...
