Day 1:
I have to say this first and foremost: I am the most unfit, lazy, unmotivated person in Cayman. Hands down. I call myself a "skinny-fat person". I may look fit, but I am an out of shape disaster. I have never worked out a day in my life. So needless to say this new adventure is a scary one.
My 29th birthday was on Tuesday, so really what better way to begin the last year in my twenties than but getting healthy! I received my training schedule from James and ran for THE FIRST TIME EVER on the treadmill in my condo complex. It wasn't pretty. I was breathing pretty heavy, got majorly dizzy, and thought my legs were on fire. I wanted to film myself because I thought I may look like a baby fawn learning how to walk. I got thru the 30 minute run/walk and moved onto push ups and sit ups. Also, a trainwreck. I could only laugh at my efforts but quietly said to myself, the race is in December which leaves a lot of time to get "used" to my new lifestyle.
Anyways, I thought that would make you all chuckle with the visual. I must say tho, if I'm attempting this, anyone can. And hopefully I'll become a skinny-skinny person soon enough!
Thanks Shelly and James for this opportunity!

Mo
Nice work Mo! Lovin' your new running shoes, they aren't quite the new Nike McFly's but they are pretty wicked and am sure will give you wings! Keep at it, it does get (moderately) easier, I promise...x
Brilliant start Mo. It will get easier. I promise and I'm certain you'll be a skinny - skinny person in no time. Plus think of all the couch sitters you lapped today.
