It has been awhile since I posted here but I find that it really does help for me to blog on a regular basis, so that is a goal for me this year. Blog on a regular basis. I have been in a funk over the last few months. I think for one I was sick for about a month. I had an URI that would not go away and so I could not do my cardio and workouts like I normally would. Finally, that is gone and I am back doing what I really love to do.
I have been training for some runs coming up and am currently signed up for 3 trail runs. The first one I did last Saturday. It was a brisk 18 degrees outside...burrrr. There were 92 of us ready for rain, sleet, snow, hail, mud or whatever was to come our way! I did a 5k with a few little bumps in between. There was ice and a little bit of snow on the ground. But somehow I missed a couple of rocks and fell not only once but twice! The first fall I tried hard not to hit my head but that didn't work. I fell and actually hit my eye on a rock. It hurt but not terribly bad because I was pretty much frozen. I also banged up my knees and left two holes in my new pair of running tights. Right after that I fell again! So I pretty much walked the rest of the trail to the finish line. I crossed the finish line but was sore and tired.
I have got to get my eating back under control as well. Carbs are my enemy but my mind just does not know that. It fights me every step of the way. I'm really looking into eating a more vegetarian diet. I do enjoy a lot of recipes that I have tried and I think that will help me out a lot. Sometimes I feel as if I am going backwards. This is not a good feeling at all. I have to be the one to step up and not let this happen. I have to change my life and keep moving forward. There is no going back.
I have a lot planned for this year and am really excited about it all. Stay tuned for what lies ahead of me!
