Here's to a New Year!

So, first let me start saying that EVERYONE should have a New Years resolution to blog at least once before Ragnar! Way to go Brandy!

I have finally realized how set back I am with this whole training schedule for Ragnar. So, I decided to start on January 1st! What better time than day one of the new year? I wasn't sure how I'd do since I hadn't run in quite sometime so I didn't set a goal, I just ran until I was tired. To my surprise, by the time I got home I had run just over 3 miles! Now that doesn't sound like it's very far but I was shocked that I made it that far before dying.

To be honest, it wasn't the running that did me in, it was the air! I was having such a hard time breathing and it was because the air was just so dirty. Those are the days that I need to be running on the treadmill. I went out again for another 3 miles this morning and it was a little better outside. Hopefully I'll be able to balance out my indoor and outdoor training so it doesn't kick my butt. Hope you all are doing well, keep us posted!

Happy New Year Gals!

If your holidays were anything like mine they were very sweet! I don't even want to know how many calories I've consumed over the last few weeks. Now I remember why I don't bake very often. Because then I eat it! LOL!! I can definitely feel a change in my body with eating more (a lot more) sweets and running less. It's motivated me even more to kick my running up a notch starting today. And that's just what I did! It felt GREAT to run a little faster and a little farther than I have been. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to do that every week up to the point I need to be for Ragnar! I always feel so good after running!
