Oops, I did it again!!!

Nope I'm not a Brittney fan but I did manage to gain back 16 lbs since my Vegas vacation is October :'-(

The good news is just since Monday, when I started my beloved dieting I have lost 5.5 lbs. I guess that's not too bad for 5 days. I also have to mention that I have literally been running my ASS off. I have decided that I really want to run the Toledo Glass City Half Marathon. It's on April 22nd and starts at The University of Toledo goes through area neighborhoods and Wildwood Metropark before getting on the University Trail bike path and finishing up in the Glass City Bowl (where the Toledo Rockets play football). Since I graduated from UT I thought this would be the perfect kickoff to a Half Marathon, not to mention I will get to proudly display one of those wonderful 13.1 stickers on the back of my van. I'm not going to lie....it's all about the sticker.

I am going to admit that I still haven't signed up for this said Half Marathon. I keep checking the dial that shows how much space their is still available. It costs $50 and I really want to continue my training to see if I am even going to be able to get up to the 13.1 mile goal. The good news is when I really started getting back to running after my Christmas season hiatus one mile was killing me and I'm already up to 4.5 miles. Actually just this week I ran....

Sunday: 4.5 miles
Tuesday: 2 miles
Wednesday: Cross-Trained on the AMT machine for 30 minutes
Friday: 4 miles
Saturday: 3 miles

I have to say I'm pretty excited ~ my only complaint is I'm still waiting for that whole energy boost that exercising is supposed to give you. As of now at 9pm I'm ready for bed whether I'm at work or not.
