Good Morning.

Unless you are me. I am not a morning person. And today I also do not think I become much of an afternoon person either.

The run yesterday was beautiful. I went in the park across the street from where I work and it was a great temperature out and a pleasant atmosphere. I will be honest, I did not run the entire time. My knees are hurting lately and I think its because I expected to be able to go a lot further than I actually can when I started.

I did take advantage of the hills in the park, and I would sprint up as many as I could find. I would speed walk and sprint distances. I ended up going 2.32 miles in about 27 minutes. Some would be ashamed of this but not me! I am just glad I went past my boundries and went somewhere new. (I'm a chicken)






So, There it is. My first blogged run. I hope you enjoyed it! I know it wasn't that interesting. After I was done running, I stuffed a protien bar down my throat then went home and ate a spinach and 3 pieces of thin crust pizza. I am pretty sure that canceled out my work out but hey, the body needs the fuel afterwards right??

Ready, Set, Go!

Hello there!

I'm mainly doing this blog as a reminder to myself that I can be pushed by myself to doing things I want to do, but not necessarily want to do. Does that make sense?

No, I will NOT be promoting this blog everywhere, not yet anyway. I embarrass myself enough as it is. So if you find this, CONGRATULATIONS and welcome! :)

I started running in January of this year. So, a little over a month ago is when I got the bug to put my shoes on and start moving. So far, I can only run/walk a little over 2 miles at a time before collapsing in the kitchen to eat the calories I just burned off on the treadmill.



Facts:

I will be 24 in April.
I have a Daughter, Willow, who is spectacular and will be 2 in July.
I work full time as an Admin Assistant at a company I genuinely enjoy working for.
I live in the middle of Nowhere. Really. The closest gas station is just about 10 minutes away.
I love running, its my new escape, but I suck at it.
