Getting Back Into This

So I seem to have forgotten about this blog, but I'm going to start up again. I've been doing really well, after yo-yoing back up to a ridiculous weight I've got it back under control and the scale has been posting some lower numbers.

Running
I can remember when I first started doing the exercise thing I used to hate the girls that would just run past me without a care in the world as I wondered if I was even going to make it a mile. Unfortunately I think I've turned into one of those girls. I finish 5K training sessions now and I want to do more. So what happened to that girl that wasn't sure if she could make it a mile? I think she blossomed into the exercise butterfly she always thought she could be, but was scared to be.

Now I run with my head high and I have this goofy grin on my face as I bound up the hills I face. There's just something about running that makes me happy. While my times aren't fast right now, they're getting better and that's all that matters. A couple of months ago I wouldn't have dreamed about running a 5K in 40 minutes and I just happened to do that today and it felt easy.

I think I'm going to sign up for a 5K race in the spring. Who knows if that goes well maybe I'll look into training for a half marathon...
