Who said it would be easy?!

Life! What can I say... After the Bizz Johnson Half Marathon my business went into overdrive and I slacked off on the running. Unfortunately, this coincided with the holiday season... and moving... Did I ever mention that I am a stress-eater?... So suffice it to say that after 3 months off and lots of calories in, the weight gain quickly took place. It's always dissapointing how it comes ON so much faster and easier than it goes OFF...

But this is life... and I am trying to embrace the fact that my weight will always ebb and flow... and that my love of the trails and newfound love of endurance running will stay somewhat consistent. Being out there on the trails or on a long run is good for my soul. And I miss it so much when I take breaks....

So... here I am... I am signed up for the Oakland Half marathon on March 24th... I am WAY behind on training... at one point I pondered which was worse, a DNF or a DNS... I have decided that I will get my sorry butt out there... and I will do what I can on that day... if I have to walk much of it, I will. But I will be there... and I hope to cross the finish before the cutofff time... And I'm excited.

I started this blog to journal my adventures... sometimes it is inspiring and sometimes it's just real life...
