I love writing this blog, but I seriously need a doctor. A computer doctor that is. My computer has been displaying a message that says the cooling system is not working. Basically if I don't get it fixed it is going to burn up. Grrr! So I am writing this blog from another computer until I get a doctor for my laptop.
I have been running mostly on the treadmill for weeks now. Yesterday, however, I ventured outside. It was a balmy (haha) 23 degrees, but it was nice to get out. It really is more of a challenge to run outside then on the treadmill. I think it is more so when it is cold outside. It is much more fun though. I can hardly wait to be out all the time. Speaking of running, my sister who is now a certified personal trainer, designed a half-marathon training plan for me. I plan on starting it tomorrow. What a scary concept. Considering my longest run to this point has been a little over 6 miles. I would like to be ready to run one in July, as well as running a few 5k and 10ks.
I am still trying to find that balance between work, family, and time for exercise. I started going to the gym twice a week. I have to admit that I like it a lot. I have been able to work on my arms, which have been seriously neglected, but also strength my legs so I can run farther and faster (well that is the plan).
Can't believe we are almost into the second month of the New Year. How are those resolutions going for you? I am plugging along. Well...I will let you know how my training goes...until next time....Chubby Girl...out!
I think that balance is going to take an eternity for me to figure out! It is hard! I love that you have been doing so well and working so hard! Seriously, I am so proud of you...Heck...I am proud of us! I was looking at the pics on the bottom of the blog that have me and you in...wow...we've come a long ways!Now we just have to keep moving forward!!! We can do it!
