Well, here we go! I'm new to "blogging" and new to marathons. I guess you have to start somewhere, or how about, 'you're never to old to stop learning' or some other well used cliche like that.
My name is Kelvin Jones and I am the 7am-3:30pm RN at Nissan in Canton. Thus, my title is 'nissannurse'. Very original, huh? (ha!) When I turned forty this past September, I thought about making some life changes (like most people do when they turn forty...) and so I started running. I have always said that I couldn't run because of too many old football injuries to my knees and on the first day, I thought my knees would revolt (as well as my lungs!). But the more I worked up to a mile, the less my knees hurt. Imagine that! No more excuses!
So, to make a long story short, I run a mile on M, T, TH, and F. I have been feeling so good, that I decided my New Year's resolution was to run a 5k this year. Little did I know that I would later decide to 'step it up a notch' and thus, nissannurse of the marathon makeover has evolved. Currently, I am 6'2" and come in at a very trim 290lbs. (very trim, indeed....HA!) One of my main goals is drop some poundages of course, all the while building self confidence of undiscovered levels.
As this is my first 'blog', all I can say is......stay tuned. This could get very interesting!!

You are gung ho! Take it easy and don't cram in too much and you will get there with the team. You have plenty of time - and I can tell you are going to become a blogging fanatic.
Just a quick note to say us nurses should stick together. Ha! I wonder how many nurses are in this 2007 group? Anyway, I work at Woman's hospital in same day surgery 25-30 hours a week. I was a runner over 10 years ago but just stopped. I've been tempted to start running this week but will follow Mark's suggestions about taking it slowly so I plan on walking quickly this week. Good luck with your goals this week.
Great.... you are way ahead of me :)
