Introduction Text This is my 2nd attempt at Spark. It's been over a year since I last really tracked on Spark. I thought I could do it myself, but it is hard. Life gets in the way. But excuses are easy, change is hard. I was really active, played rugby and soccer to help keep in shape. But an old college injury has creeped back into my life and now those two passions in my life are no longer an option. The surgery to correct my ankle is not necessary and the ortho stated if he were in my shoes, he would not do the surgery. He did recommend losing weight to help alleviate some of the pain. I tried running. I hated it. I tried running races, I loved it. As much as I hated the half marathon I completed in July 2012, I want to do better. And that's when I realized, I can't always do it on my own and decided to give Spark another try.

- I would like to start my weight with a 1 instead of a 2.

- Bodylastic bands. Using a weight lifting program from www.liveexercise.com (free website that utilizes the bands) - Couch to whatever (I have just completed my first half marathon!) - running around trying to keep up with my two daughters

It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.” - George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian
