One Year Later...

Stumbled upon my own blog and I can honestly express my disappointment in myself for not doing absolutely anything. I dramatically quit that job that I was working at; the management was poor, the hours were awful and nothing was keeping me there but guilt. 

I can say that I tried Insanity with Shaun T. and I couldn't get into it. I think it was a mix of not being able to do all the workouts without thinking I was going anywhere and lack of motivation.  Lack of motivation is my number one killer! Today I set 3 alarms, 6:30, 6:45, and 7:00, I was going to get up and be out the door at 7:00am and I actually did it! I did a nice 2.03mile jog at a snails pace but I was moving! I had a back up route that I know only takes me 30 minutes instead of 40 or so. 

I'm going to be running the Color 5K on September 29th and that's super exciting! I'll be running with one of my good friends Lauren. Currently, my plan is to keep running 5K's as I continue to add time and distance onto my running in hopes of getting to my half marathon sometime in the next year. Of course there are going to be landmark achievements between here and there but that's the goal for this year. 

I didn't make it to Philmont, as you might have imagined. I bit off a little more than I could chew with prepping while in school and balancing two jobs, now I work at the bowling alley. My specs are roughly the same which is depressing over a year later, but by this time next year I will have run multiple 5K's and hopefully a 10K or two.

Good luck fellow fitness enthusiasts!
