Today it was 60 freaking awesome degrees in Chi-town. Amazing. Another miracle that happened today? I wanted to run. Ever since my half marathon last summer, I have been completely disenchanted with running. In fact, I only ran 4 miles in December – what the crap. I don’t need to think about why I have put on weight, I can see why from looking at my DailyMile tracker. Duh. Anyway, today with this gorgeous weather I woke up WANTING TO RUN. I went out for half an hour and did a run/walk of 2.2 miles. It sucked, but I knew it would. Starting over again with running always sucks. That’s why you are supposed to just keep going…so you don’t have to keep starting over every few weeks. So that is my goal. To not have to start all over again with running another time. It was a good run Dare I say, I even kind of loved it.

To be honest, I think that is part of the reason why I have put off running for so long. I knew it would suck. It WILL get better though, so I look forward to that. In other running news, tomorrow is the last day to get $20 the Pretty Muddy 5k!! Lindsay and I will be on a team together. Once we register I will let you know what we name it so more of our awesome running friends can join and get muddy with us. The code is GIRLTIME, so go use it. It will be so fun!!
