It's been too long.

I don't even know the last time I blogged. I'll have to check after this post.

Life has been very good to me on a non-running front. I got a new job last September that I absolutely love. There is travel involved so getting settled into a routine is taking some time but I feel like I'm almost there.

Two months ago I was doing the Lydriad training program and was doing well building up my mileage until we got some major ice storms. From there it all went back downhill. I did join a gym to have a place to go when I couldn't go outdoors but I didn't make any effort to go once I joined. There were many reasons and a few lame excuses but this past week I finally got my butt over there.

Motivation:

• I have been loosing weight by reducing my carbs and increases lean protiens, veggies and healthy carbs (like fruit).
• I'm turning 40 in August
• I've seen way to many recent pictures of myself where I look like hell
• I miss running. Every day I think about it and how I wish I was out there running long.

My goal right now is to get back into shape. The spin class I did Tuesday shows how out of shape I really am! So here is my plan:

1. Run a mile a day*

2. Take the following classes at the gym to start with ( these work best with my schedule too):

• Spin
• Yoga
• Pilates
• Body Works plus Abs

Just from a couple days of doing this I feel so much better. I miss all those endorphines!

*The one mile a day will change but for now it will create the habit I need to get out there and do it. I can easily fit a mile in a day even with my travel schedule. I figure I am going to start small and build from there with no pressure to do it at a certain point.

Wish me luck!
