Putting It All Together . . .

Friday the 13th seems as good a time as any to do something a little risky, so here goes nothin'.

Just created this blog as a way to keep track of my progress as I get ready to sign up for a 5k walk for the NF Endurance Team. The immediate goal is to choose an upcoming event that I can participate in sometime within the next year.

I am only three weeks into learning how to get around with my prosthetic leg (which, going forward, shall be referred to as my "New Best Friend" or NBF for short...) and it is not going as quickly as I'd like. Meanwhile, short term goals are: 1) to create the blog and 2) begin walking every day, logging in my time and distance as I go along.

I am scared to death that I am biting off more than I can chew . . .


BUT, I've made up my mind to do this, and when I decide to do a thing - I do it.

Now that I've put it down in writing, it's real. Scary part #1 , over with!
