Oops.....I forgot :(

Ok ok, I forgot to post my running schedule. I've been reading posts on logyourrun.com and finally found a training schedule that I can work with. I've decided to post my training week by week until the big day. So for now, the rest of my week looks like this:

Thursday: run 1 mile + fight angry last minute shoppers & sip a peppermint mocha
Friday: run 1 mile + enjoy a cup of ice cold eggnog, yum:(
Saturday: Rest, open presents and have fun with the family
Sunday: run 1.5 miles + think about how I'm going to gear up for the new year

Hanging in there

Well, I haven't posted for a while but I have been running. I have ran three times since my last post. I know it doesn't sound like much, but for now it will work. Baby steps for me at the moment. The Christmas decorations are up and I am now feeling the holiday spirit! Yay! Ok, so my goal this week is to have my running schedule posted by Friday. I can do this. Oh, I almost forgot, I got into grad school!! Yep, I'll be a grad student next semester. I'm so excited. I can see my life is finally heading toward the right direction.

Whoever is reading my blog,have a great rest of the week.

Fresh Start & New Design

Today I ran 1 mile + walked 1 mile. I'm very proud of myself because today was a long day! Yesterday I read a blog that inspired me. A friend of mine in high school has her own blog. She writes about being a parent, wife, and a runner. Here recently she ran a marathon. As I was reading her journey through 26.2 miles and what it was like getting through the training, I was just amazed how she did it. She can get up early and make running a priority even when she has two very important roles to fulfill, being a mother and a wife. I admire her for being able to deal with everyday life one day at a time. I wish I can do that. I've let fear, anxiety and depression stand in my way. It has guided me toward a life I do not want for myself. So today I started making a change. Even though I was tired from work, I can not let that get in my way. I was thinking that when I start to really get a good running schedule, I know I'll start feeling much better. Emotionally, physically, and mentally. I'm looking forward to heading in the right direction for my life.

Thank you to my high school friend for letting me know that it may seem like you don't have enough time in the world to train for a marathon, but if you make it a priority then you'll find the time.

I'm giving this new layout design a try. I've been in the festive mood lately and wanted to jazz up my blog page to give it a little Christmas flair.
