Song of the moment: Run This Town - jay.z, Rihanna, and kanye west
So, I haven't posted anything in awhile. I ran the great race in 29:26 - 30 seconds faster than my Gatorade 5k race. Now I'm looking ahead to other races. I was inspired this past weekend to finally run a half marathon (and everything seems like a good idea when drinking some beers :)) so in march I'm running the shamrock half marathon in virginia beach!
I'm running a 4-mile race in a few weeks, maybe an 8k next month during the Philly marathon, and I will probably tackle a turkey trot :) Other than that I'm just trying to bump my mileage up each week - I did run 5 miles two weeks ago, I was proud of myself, I'm around 4mi now.
I have officially lost 31.5 pounds - I'm hoping to drop 10 more by the holidays. I think by really focusing on running will help with that. Running has been very theraputic for me - from losing my job in January to my break-up this summer. I am glad to have running back in my life!
I'm definitely running toward something new - new town (Philadelphia), new job, joining a running club out here, and a new outlook on things. I just need to meet someone who runs - haha.
I also think I am going to drop my gym membership - stick to trail running, abs at home, and free weights. The la fitness here doesn't have a pool :(
One final note - don't eat anything an hour for a run :)
