On your mark....

I've charged up my heart rate monitor and my blue tooth ear phones and iPod, got my "running" clothes ready, and have gotten pretty much set up on a training site with a work out schedule. I'm "on my mark" so to speak, and about to get ready to go--Monday. I plan to start out very slow and work my way up. Everything I've read has said that, especially at my age, it's best not to try to do too much too fast. In the past, when I've "decided" to "get in shape" (what ever that might be at the time-running, working out, eating healthier), I have started like gangbusters and flopped. This time, I'm in for the long haul so I'm going to take it at a turtles' pace.
