Beginnings

It's August 2009. I've been running again since December 2008. The last half marathon I had run was June 1990 in Winnipeg. Now the last one was April 2009 in Fargo, with a PB time of 2:06:09. I couldn't run the Manitoba half because of injury, but I am now on track to run the Goodlife Fitness Marathon (full!) in Toronto, October 18, 2009. Better yet, Julie is up to a 7 mile long run and is doing the half in Toronto!
I ran 14.5 miles last Sunday, the longest run I have ever done. Today, I ran 16 miles, with Julie pacing me on a bicycle (and carrying bottles 2 and 3 plus my "recovery" drink). We even walked a mile and a half when we got back, to get some Starbucks coffee.
I have lost about 55 pounds (from Sept 08 until Mar 09) and kept it off.
I have 8 wonderful children 5 of whom share our newly renovated and energy efficient home.
I live much of my life in the moment, practicing Mindfulness.
That's what makes this "Beginnings".
