GREETINGS!!!!

The previous two entries discussed the 1st Annual Jacksonville Women in Business Expo. Both lead up to how I was able to COMMAND the attention of my audience in such a way that I was nearly intimidated by the SUCCESS of my very unorthodox approach!!! Want to know what I did??!!!

The harsh reality of it all was the fact that I was hardly being PRACTICAL! I made up my mind to skip the couch-to-5k app that I typically run with as I opted for my Nike+ Running app that would let me schedule my own run on my own terms versus following the paced instructions of the more practical #c25k app. I wanted to run a mile straight without having been mile-prepped for weeks!!!
