Core Value: Fitness

This is where I've been running the past few weeks.

The last month or so, I've been really focusing on my core value of health and fitness. The more I dig in and explore this, the more I believe that a foundation of health and fitness is the key to building a platform that will allow me to achieve many of the other goals in my life. I really want to be able to help others, but without the physical capacity to work hard and be in good health, I just can't give others the energy and interest they really deserve. In poor health I end up turned inward, hurting and just trying to limp by.

So that said, I have as I have written about before, some very lofty goals, and one of those is to run an IronMan in the next 4 years. Where am I at now. I can run about 3 minutes. Yup, that's it. So one might say that this will by my journey of couch to ironman. I'm going to document some of that journey here. I'm not sure how regular the checkins on this will be, but I'm really trying to keep all my efforts and food on myfitnesspal, which so far, plugged in with my DigiFit account has been the best tracking app I've found yet, and I've tried quite a few. Here is the link to my diary if you feel any sort of inclination to check it out. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/paigetech

So right now I'm working on the Couch to 5k running plan, 8 weeks to running a 5k. I'm focusing a lot on form and cadence trying to learn to run "right" while I'm training my body to move. I'm also following a body weight regimin on my off running days. I'm planing to add in some biking in the next week or so to help build my fitness with less impact on my legs, since I had knee surgery three times before I was 21 and have been suffering with the consequences of never getting back in shape ever since. 

So that's part of my journey. Healthy. Wealthy. Wise.
