last Sunday-race failure

So I drove to Milwaukee to run in the Samson romp and Stampede, only I didn't get to run it.  I have been sick since New Year's Eve, trip two weeks to urgent care resulted in a very bad case of Bronchitis.  I am still coughing and having issues, so when I got to Milwaukee and realized how cold it was, I decided I didn't need to be getting sicker.  It was -26 at the time of the race with the windchill.  Yes, I am disappointed, but no not waste of a trip, as I have friends up there.  I spent the day of the race with my bestie's daughters at a trampoline park, then the next day I took a fitness class that isn't offered anywhere near where I live.  I fell in love with the class.  It's a dance fitness class so right up my ally.  Anyway, so before I left for Milwaukee, my co-worker and I were talking and he told me I should think about what I want to do with my life.  He's right, I am not getting any younger.  I had the car drive to think about it, since I went alone.  Here is what I came up with: I am tired of being overweight, the meds they had me on for bronchitis made me gain like 10 lbs in like 3 weeks.  I am tired of the way it makes me feel, I am tired of how being overweight is affecting my work-I can't fit into places I could a few months ago.  I decided I need to get back on track with training for my first marathon, and with all my goals.  I also thought about going back to teaching fitness on the side.  I miss teaching and how much fun I was having teaching it and inspiring others.  I am determined to take the training to get certified to teach the class I took in Milwaukee and bring it to my area.  I also want to get licensed to teach mixxed fit as well.  So my plan is in March to take the class to do mixxed fit and then go to Milwaukee to get certified to teach the class I took up there in a few months.

So today, I did jazzercise, as I bought 12 classes worth to help get some cross training in.  I have also made a schedule so I can get back on track with marathon training.  I think having a calendar so I can see what is planned for each day will help me stay on track.
