I'm back....

When life hands you lemons make lemonade right? I won't get into it, but life handed me a giant pallet of lemons...so there will be a lot of lemonade in my life for a few months.

In regards to my plan to become a runner? Well, it's been a while since I had made that decision...and a lot as gone on. I've decided that I'm not giving up that goal. I don't need to be an Olympic runner, or even run marathons. Though I would like to be that kind of person who brings their sneakers everywhere because they will make it a point to run every morning for 5 miles. Thats more my goal.

This is because the feeling that I get from running is like nothing else. Oddly enough it's a lot like the way I feel from from yoga. It's my mind being totally present with my body. Focusing on breathing, and keeping  focused on the road in front of you but also keeping your legs moving in sync....it's quite zen. I'm hoping that the next few weeks I am able to start regaining my focus on myself. It's exciting and I'm really hoping to meet my goal. One day at a time.

My schedule for this week to get back on track is M,W,F- Gym: elliptical for 30 min, weights, treadmill for intervals of 1 min sprints/5 min walking at an incline for 30 min. This is for 2 weeks then I'll see where I am after that.....and I'll be re-joining my yoga center and doing that once a week as well.

I'm very excited for what is in store. Only good things :)...
