Running

As it starts to get nicer outside, I always seem to post a blog about getting into shape. I start running and exercising more often, but it always seems short lived. I get sore and tired, and I stop. Someway...somehow....this is not going to happen this year. I have been surrounding myself with healthier foods, finding time to workout every day (in someway or another), and just feel altogether better about my efforts.

For lent, I gave up pop and haven't missed it too much (except during these long parent/teacher conference nights). Every pop I don't drink is 140 calories I don't intake a day- which is 140 calories I don't have to work off that night.

So I am announcing my running circuit today:

TBD- a 5k
May 19th- CF Run (6.2 Miles)
June 2- Dam to Dam (12.2 Miles)
July 14th- The Warrior Dash (3.4 Miles--I think)


I feel that if I post it on here I am more likely to follow through. I read online that it takes 4 weeks for you to notice a difference in your body, 8 weeks for your family and friends to notice, and 12 weeks for everyone else. So in 8-12 weeks, you are going to see a stronger, faster, healthier me!
