No Excuses :)

Really, Well Maybe

I was planning to start posting again, and I see my last post was in August! 

This summer has been a struggle.  This is the first year in a long time that I have not run a single marathon.  I've moved them all to half marathons, and finished, so I see that as a good thing.  I struggled both physically and mentally.  After I took a tumble, I was afraid of falling again, and it took a while for me to feel comfortable running again. I think I'm on my way back now.

I'm working on a new plan (I'm always trying to find a way that works).  I joined a local fitness club, and I'm going to concentrate on strength training. No matter how hard I try, I just can't keep motivated enough to do this at home.  I figure if I'm paying for something, I'll do my best to get my money's worth!  I'm also changing my diet.  I'm gravitating towards a vegetarian diet.  I still include chicken, for now, and I'll see how it goes.

This was short, but it's just the beginning.  Stay tuned for a new type of running adventure!

No Excuses

Long Time, No Post

I need to get this started again.  Maybe in another month or so :)

Stay tuned!
