Starting week 3!!!

It is difficult to run at work. There is no good place to change, and there isn't even a good place to run on campus so I have to go to a park. That's okay, but it makes it hard to get my run in on a lunch hour. It was raining yesterday and I couldn't run, so today I have to or my next chance will be Thursday. Grrrrr, I WILL get this shit done!

Week 2, day 2

I totes got a runner's high today. It was super awesome. Had the park almost to myself, which was also nice. Glad to have motivation in the form of a super cute 8 year old. I am going to try to get a large group together to cheer us on during the race. She will have quite the cheering squad, but we have a big god damn family, we can do so much better! Feel free to stop by, Edward. Since you are the only local who will read this. December 8 at unca, race starts at 11. More running dets to come, hopefully positive ones!

Week 2, day 1

Yeah, that's right. I started with week 2. Week one is for pussies. And I rocked it, even with a headache. Go me! Now next step: staying with it!

Ack! A 5k in one month!

I now have motivation to get my ass in gear and get running again. I've been asked by my aunt if I can run a 5k with my 8 yr. old cousin on December 8. Who is going to say no to that? Of course I will! Now to get off my ass and get training! C25k, here we go again! Need to find a good book to listen to in the process. Will start blogging more frequently as events unfold ;)

Nerd Tat in action

I didn't have any pics of me on the cruise that displayed the glory of the nerdy tattoo, so here is one from my sister in law. Giving me new motivation to keep dieting. And exercising.

Blood Type, bitches!

Now it's time to try the Blood Type diet. Because I haven't tried enough new diets this year. Also, I haven't posted in forever, so we will just start over and pretend like this is the first time I'm trying something new. Sounds like a plan.

Back to school

So the new semester has started, and I am in week 3 of Couch to 5k (yes, I have started over yet again). I have new shoes, a new bra, and a new attitude. Listening to audiobooks whilst I run has been very nice. So long as I can keep good books going (only on book 3 of Song of Ice & Fire so I have lots of hours left to go with those) I will have more of a reason to run than just getting in shape. I am going paleo again, because naturally I stopped that shit on the cruise, and it's been hard to get back to eating well. Lunchtime is going to be hard though, because I haven't packed anything, nor have I cooked shit since I got back from vacation. Not sure what my problem is, probably that I have been a very shitty grocery shopper lately, and don't have anything with which to cook. That ends this weekend!

So new goal for the semester is to run a 5k, and then keep running after. That was the problem with my last 5k in 2011; I promptly stopped running after the race was over! So by 2013, I want to be comfortable running for 30 minutes, and then I will try increasing my distance so I can have a rockin' hot bod once again.
