So I think the marathon we were shooting for has come and gone, but I'm still running:)

2010 resolution.....do it! (the marathon, that is;)

I joined a gym again and working out has just become a necessary part of my day. I've been doing 5 miles outside pretty easily now for the past 2 weeks, and I try to do most of my running outdoors simply because I feel like I could run on the treadmill forever. It looks like the snow is going to keep me inside for awhile now, but I'm not too worried. Hoping to already be surrounded by sunshine and sand by the time the next marathon comes around!

Good luck with the weather, I'm sure GR is going to be pretty miserable these next couple days!

It's Jan 20th and I guess it's safe to say I'm a runner again:) My life has been really up and down the past two weeks and running has become muse. I sleep better at night just from the exhaustion of the 5 miles I've been putting in each day! It's a good feeling to be back on track, and I'm serious about a marathon. Whether it happens this year or in 5, the fact that I KNOW I could finish it is motivation enough to keep hitting the pavement.

It's a little cold out, but I guess the air is good for the lungs and the snow for the calves;)

If you're reading this...

you should def jump on this wagon! Yesterday was my 3 consecutive day of running...in the snow!
It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, in fact, I'm almost mad at myself for not giving it a shot sooner. The chill only stays with you for about the first half mile or so, and by the end I'm sweaty sweaty!

3 days, 3 miles each day....it's not a lot, but if I can keep it up for at least 4 times a week I'm sure the mileage will start to add up. Wednesdays are my only super long days this semester so I'll probably make it my rest day and start up again Thursday.

Hope all is well and HOPEFULLY we'll see you posting again soon=)

back on the pavement

I ran today=)

3 miles on the slippery sidewalks, and I didn't even fall once! lol It was a decent run considering it's been about 3 weeks since I've done much working out at all, but my lungs are definitely feeling the cold air now. I'm going to try to keep this up at least 3 times a week. Join me?
