to go back to the beginning

ive been ill... since january of this year i have had pneumonia, my doctors at the surgery didnt pick this up at all in all the times i kept going bk to them, finally at the end of march i was coughing up blood and a doctor finally sent me to the hospital where i stayed for 4 days on medication and a drip, turns out i had pneumonia and a blood clot in my left lung, i could have died. my mum had to travel 400 miles to come and stay to help my husband and children. as a result of the pneumonia my immune system is really low so i am picking everything up.
ashamedly i have neglected the Lord so far this year, i haven't prayed in ages and i have lost my way and i don't know how to get back to the Lord. when i joined my new church i received a pack from them and in it was a book called 'the life' a portrait of Jesus.
i have just picked up the book today and by reading it it helps me to start at the beginning, to get to know Jesus again.

so today i am going back to the beginning.

Exercising - beginners running plan

Exercising, some people hate it and some people love it, as for me I'm sitting on the fence. Don't get me wrong, i don't completely hate exercise i just don't love it all that more either! But i know i need it

So for Christmas my husband bought me a treadmill (i honestly did ask for one!), which to be honest i haven used all that much, that is until i start my running plan tomorrow. Whilst popping to tesco the other day i picked up a magazine called 'women's fitness' and inside there was a running plan, one for beginners, one for intermediate and one for advance. Naturally i need to start with he beginners so i aim to do this tomorrow. I intend to follow he plan for one week then mix it up the next week just to shock my body! So here's my plan for the week, Monday to Sunday:

3 MINS SLOW JOG
5 MINS STEADY JOG
