2015

I'm coming up on the 1 year anniversary of my journey. On the one hand, it seems like I just started this yesterday; on the other, it seems like I've been trekking along at this forever. It's been a roller coaster. I'm pretty discouraged that things haven't progressed as quickly as I would have liked. But if I'm being honest, I only have myself to hold accountable for that. I haven't remained as dedicated as I should have. On the bright side, I haven't completely given up on myself.
If someone had told me that I'd be researching running shoes and running watches, I would have looked at them like they had 3 heads. And how obsessed I've gotten with workout clothes and equipment, it's kind of embarassing. I was totally geeked out when I got my new Garmin Forerunner 10 last week. I LOVE It! And I also got some new running shoes which I also love.

This past week, I actually joined a gym! My niece asked me to go with her, so I tagged along. I really enjoyed myself and it was fun having a workout buddy. We have gone every day since, except for today. Thursdays are pretty hectic, so we're going to make it our rest day.
On Tuesday, I wasn't able to run during the day, so after working out our arms, I ran on the treadmill. I've never run on the treadmill before so I was a little apprehensive about it. It went well though and it will be awesome when the weather is less than desireable outside.
