First Run of the "new year"

I went on a quick run this afternoon. I actually walked for part of it but I just wanted to get my body moving and back at it. I cleaned house all morning so it was a miracle that I even went at all. But I have to add, it felt great! It was not a bad run at all and I did some quick resistance training in the park too. I weighed in this morning at 197lbs but I can not complain because I have not exercised all weekend and I drank and had some snacks too on top of all of that I am totally "retaining water" if you know what I mean so I know I will be lower in weight soon enough. In all, not a bad day :)

Taking today off!

The only exercise I'll be getting today is shopping at the mall and walking back to the car! I am taking today as my rest day because tomorrow I plan to run longer than I ever have in my entire life. I am going on an 11 mile run in the morning in honor of 11-11-11, my birthday and Veteran's Day! I am so excited, I know I can do this. As soon as I get home I am going to register for the Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon in New Orleans. it should be a great time! Whew...1 miles. I can't believe I am going to do this. It should feel great!
