Hey Everyone!!!

I hope that everyone is doing well.  I just got done with Spring Break.  It was very uneventful.  I chilled in St. Louis for the weekend and then came back to Springfield.  I didn't really do too much here.  All I really did was work on cutting out some hats for my brother. 

I just wanted to share something that I found out this week.  I went to the doctor, just for a physical, and discovered one of the "hidden" benefits of my new healthy life journey.  I have a very healthy heart.  To start off, my blood pressure has lowered.  Just last year it was 120/80 but now it is 115/76.  Also, my resting heart rate was in the upper 90's lower 100's and now it is clocked at 67 bpm.  I guess I have that "athletes" heart rate.  

Seeing this internal change has increased my motivation to do better.  I have decided to go ahead and kick it up a notch.  This week I will start running.  I really want to do a half marathon in November and I think if I start now, I will be ready.  I will start off slow and work on my endurance.  I hope to start working on pace during the summer but we will see.  

Till another day....
