Well, it's officially been forever since I last blogged! I thought I would hop on over my lunch break and write about what's consumed most of my free time lately--running.
In early November, I finally decided to start training for a half marathon. I started running after I graduated in May 2010 and fell absolutely in love with it. The activity reminds me quite a bit of speech, in that the more you put in, the more you get out of it. I feel so healthy and actually look forward to my training runs during the week and long run on the weekends. I don't run to cancel out something I ate (well, usually anyhow!); I run because I love it.
The training process, however, has not been easy. I've had injuries in my feet, hamstring, both of my knees, and yes, even my butt (the dreaded "pain in the butt"!). My most recent injury (in the knee/hamstring) is finally getting better, which is a relief, considering the half marathon is in just two weeks! I'm definitely ready to run it, and I'm looking forward to the feeling of accomplishment afterward. But, after the fact, I'll be ready to rest and *finally* heal.
