Catch Up

Okay...I started getting back into running last month and I couldn't be happier. I love the feeling of satisfaction it provides, not to mention the transformation of my body. There are sooo many benefits...why didn't I start earlier? So far since January 8th, I have lost twelve pounds (146 to 134) and roughly thirteen inches off my body, mainly in the midsection.

I have been training to do the Gate River Run, courtesy of my friend and running partner Suzanne. My longest run thus far has been seven miles at 1:10. I started out huffing and puffing running one to two miles. My first mistake was going too fast and rushing into it. The second was not wearing good running shoes. I quickly resolved both these issues and added in a new ipod for bonus. There is nothing like pushing it to your favorite song.
