Thanksgiving

I've had a lot happen since I last posted! I've ran many races, including my first half marathon (race) and marathon!

I want to try blogging again to stay accountable for my eating and running, as well as keeping track of my running gear so I can see what's working well and not.

I've totally fallen in love with running and everything related to it!! I've ordered snowshoes to try snowshoeing and snowshoe races in January.  They should arrive on Monday, so I'm hoping we still have some snow to try them out! I've also ordered Yaktrax to be able to run on icy sidewalks and roads. I'm gearing up for winter! I actually need to curb my running gear spending... it's getting a little out of hand! :)

Today was Thanksgiving, and I am happy and proud of my control so far today. I made a plan for the day, for running, eating and then other things I had to do. I ran four miles in Brodhead this morning.  It was a brisk morning, about 20 degrees. No wind, and sunny - a great morning for a run if you're bundled up! My hip and glute in my right leg were really stiff today (and have been since last Sunday's 10k). About 1/3 mile in it felt good, though. I ran a 2 mile out and back route to the edge of town. It was a great way to start the day.

I kept myself to one piece of dessert today - personal victory. :) I have about 12 days to lose 2 pounds for my Dietbet. I'm hoping to stay on track to make it!!

Tomorrow is tree day - both Tricia's and mine. :)
