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!)

Feel the burn.

B is no longer for beer and I'm sad   I really should have thought this theme through a little bit more.  Words that start with B and are relative to my "commit to fit" challenge aren't the easiest to come by.  I've decided to go with " burn "  because I am already feeling it!! On Saturday I decided to terrorize exercise my core and upper body after my run.  DOMS set in late on Sunday and after an intense work out tonight, I dread laughing.    My commit to be fit challenge will include 3-4 strength training sessions per week in addition to my half marathon training program.  It's time to feel the burn !  Can you feel it?

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.
