Another Attempt...

OK! I am making another attempt at running. The last time I actually gave effort in this was in November...I think?!? Anyways, I miss it! I also miss the warm weather, but I shouldn't use it as an excuse not to run! I mean, I was getting really serious! I did 10 miles, twice! For someone who was COMPLETELY unmotivated to run and also being an asthmatic, I was pretty proud of myself...and then I got sick, and then I started eating holiday food, and then it was too cold to run, and then, and then, and then!!!! Now doing a mile gives me a cramp in my side :(. In the words of "Dude Where's My Car" - "NO AND THEN!", starting today!

Honestly, I'm not very good. Doing a 10min. mile is pushing it for me, but isn't it the effort and determination that counts? At least for me, I get more out of pushing myself harder each time than the beating my time. I wonder what does it for others? Time, distance or just finishing? I guess it doesn't really matter where your goals are just as long as you have them.







So what now? Where do I start? Well, blogging is a good place to start, seems this has always been a good accountability partner or a way outwardly expressing yourself in hopes that someone would care. I have a goal this year to do a 1/2 marathon. I know I could start with a small goal like a 5k or something, but I've done 10 miles before so I KNOW I can do 13! Finally, I need to get my lazy butt moving. So today I am going to attempt to run for the first time in weeks! I'll let you know how it goes.



I found this great site, I am hoping it will help with inspiration:
