Feeling Motivated Again...

I'm back and I'm feeling motivated again. I took off running for a while - I just couldn't get back in to it, but I've been feeling that itch again and seeing the pounds add up on the scale, so I decided to get into a program again. I am starting a half-marathong training schedule to run a half-marathong in September. This is my first week - it's my warm-up week, so I'm not on the "official" schedule yet, but I will start that next week. Yesterday I did 1.5 miles and today I did 2 miles, plus I walked across the river with my friend at work today which was probably another 2.5 miles easily. I plan to run again tomorrow and then will stick to the training schedule next week, which calls for 6 days of either running or cross-training and then 1 day off. I hope to stick to the schedule as much as possible and will post my updates here. Gary is also going to run a rac with me - I think we are going to do a 5k in June. We need to buy a double jogger or two single joggers though so we can take the kids with us - I want them to be involved too!!
