Run, Run, Run for the hills.....

I've been struggling with this blog for a couple of years now.  I just never know what to write.  I want to write and I want to blog, but I've never had anything that I've felt passionate enough about to write more than one post on (except for my hatred towards most of the human race...but who wants to be that negative all the time?)

I think I've finally found something that I can focus on... RUNNING.

I've been a runner for a few years now.  Sometimes I feel like a super star, and sometimes I feel like a poser.  It comes and and it goes.  Obviously, based on how/if I'm training.  My running resume consists of a 5km race (my first race ever), 2 half marathons, and Mud Hero (6km of pure fun!!!).  Tomorrow I will be running in the Dinosaur 10km.  I'm only doing it for the medal.. There's a dinosaur on it!

My super awesome and inspiring running partner, A, brought up the insane idea of running a full marathon next year (2013).  I thought it was a great idea....for her.  I was out.  Not a chance.  There is just no way I can do it.  But I'm going to do it.  My (hopefully OUR) training program starts on January 13, 2013.  My/our first ever marathon will be on May 26, 2013.  I'm doing this.  It won't be easy, and I guarantee I'll want to give up before I'm even half way through the 18 weeks, but I'm doing it.  And you are too if you would like to follow my blog!  

Obsessing about running, yep.  There's quite a few blogs out there like this.  I'm starting to think that runners use blogging to keep them accountable and keep up their training.  Good idea.  Yes, I'm THAT slow to catch on!!

So for now, wish me luck with the Dinosaurs tomorrow!!  I'll post a pic of my wicked medal next week!


Me and my AMAZING running partner!!  We call ourselves White Lightning and The Brown Streak (yes, I did that to myself...ha!)

Kick Ass.

  Day 11, Letter K, and almost 5 pounds gone!  I'm kicking ass at my A-Z Commit to be Fit Challenge!!   I'm quite certain that the next 5 pounds are going to be quite a bit tougher than the first 5, but I'm willing to do the work.

Good choices.

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope your week is a good one! We're on Letter G for the A-Z Challenge, and my commit to be fit post is about making good choices. Making good choices isn't always easy for me.  Mainly, because I'm usually really drunk and not thinking about what's best for me in the long run. You're probably thinking that I'm talking about making good diet choices and, of course, I am, but they aren't the only choices that need to be made when choosing to live a fit and healthy lifestyle.   Nutrition and diet choices are, actually, probably the easiest of all them all.

No to Negativity.

There's really no other way to describe this week so far than to refer to it as crappy.  It's a crappy week.  We had a ton of snow on the weekend that has decided to stick around ( it's April damn it ....I JUST WANT TO RUN OUTSIDE), I'm in a super bitchy mood, awful things are happening all over the world, my family is coming down with some type of  illness, and I'm losing motivation for both the A-Z Challenge and my Commit to be Fit Challenge.  Everything is just plain crappy. So N is for Negativity.  I feel negative...and crappy.
