Happy New Year

I ran today, I've been getting a few runs in again which is really nice. Today's run felt particularly good. I'm in really bad shape right now and I only ran for twenty minutes or so, but nevertheless, it felt great to just get out a do a little something active! I had been pretty stressed about going back to work over break. But my first three days back at work were super productive and I feel like I got a lot of good work done. Nevertheless, I've been pretty stressed lately and I've been getting bad tightness in my neck and back. Today's run helped get much of that stress out. I think I'll go again tomorrow!

Not much else to report on the running front, or on any other front. We've been mostly hanging out and relaxing today which is nice b/c work will be busy this month.

That's it for now.

New Year's Eve

Well . . . another year is coming to a close. 2007 is running out of hours quickly and here I sit, writing a short little blog entry about the year. 2008 is sure to be a great year and I'm looking forward to it!

I ran a bit today, nothing much, but it felt good to get outside. It really feels as though the last few days have been counterproductive on the losing weight, running front BUT on the other hand, they have been great on the relaxing, doing very little productive front. I need the relaxation. The next two months at work will be very busy and I'm sure that I will be grateful for this relaxation come February 15th.

In any case, I'm about to enter the year in which I'll run the marathon and I'm looking forward to it! In a way, my YEAR OF THE MARATHON is really being beginning now!

Have a safe and happy new year!!

Christmas

Another holiday day and another run. I ran another 25 minutes today and though I've been eating alot of food and drinking lots of good wine, I'm glad that I'm getting some runs in. Not much to report, but I need to keep checking in.

Hopefully I'll keep getting good runs in.

Christmas Eve - FINALLY!!

Well, I'm on vacation! Finally! and I ran today . . . FINALLY!!! My last run prior to my run today was on Thanksgiving . . . pathetic. But today I ran for 25 minutes and got almost 3 miles in. Not too bad. It was cold! I'm in Atlanta and I thought that I didn't need to bring cold weather running gear like my hat or gloves or pants. So despite the fact that I just got some very nice, reflective cold weather running pants for Christmas (thanks mom!) I didn't bring them b/c I thought Atlanta would be warm! Well . . . this morning at 8am when I went running it was quite chilly. I was ok in shorts and my fleece jacket, but it was colder than I had imagined it would be . . . oh well.

On another note, vacation has come and I didn't even know that today was a Monday. I know that I've really let go and allowed myself to relax when I can forget what day of the week it is! I'm going to really enjoy spending time with family and enjoying the holidays before I go back to work and have a very busy January.

Today is Christmas Eve, so Merry Christmas everyone! and Happy running!
