Getting Back in Gear
I was a bad, bad runner girl while I was home from school for break. And by that, I mean I am heading back to school on Wednesday and I have run a total of one time. I am hopeful that with a more "set in stone" schedule next semester, I will put running into that fixed schedule and make it a part of my daily routine.
Even though I have been a slacker as far as running is concerned, some good things did happen this break:
1. On New Year's Day, I told my family that my resolution is to run the Chicago Marathon. They didn't laugh like I thought they would. The response was, "You're going to have to train a lot." Duh. But it feels good that they know. And hopefully, that, like this blog, will be yet another way to hold myself accountable.
2. I signed up for the Shamrock Shuffle in March. This will force me to run, run, run in order to get in shape and get the best time I can for the race.
3. I got an iPod Shuffle for Christmas, which is fabulous. I love the little clip -- it will be great for working out with!
So here's to starting a new year off on the right foot... :)
Maybe for my birthday in February I will ask to get fitted for new running shoes!

You're going to rule at the Shuffle!! Just wait and see...you'll be brilliant!
Just get that sweet ass of yers out 2-3 times a week for the next few weeks and you'll be golden!
Can that boy toy of yours lace up his shoes and join you? Running is easier to swallow in numbers.
