I need some motivation to care about my fitness.

I really feel like depression is taking over my life. Sigh. I should go back to therapy in the spring..

Well. I'll try my best to keep this blog running related. But this had to spew I suppose.

Since taking nearly a month off of running I am definitely slower. Not only that.. I put on about 7lbs over the course of the semester. I'm not really proud of that but it's time to get back on track. I registered for a race on January 8th and sadly my goal time will be 40 minutes (What I started at when I first started running last summer). It's okay. I just have to back track, work on my eating habits, incorporate some ab work in there and maybe it won't be such a bad event. :)

It just really stinks. I was running 3 miles in 35 minutes over the semester. Now today I barely got through a mile and a half in about 25 minutes. That is just really sad to my own ego.

I have to keep telling myself it'll be okay or it really won't be okay. I need to believe in myself. I need to start somewhere again. Everyone started somewhere and everyone messes up once in a while. I just had a really stressful semester and it did pay off with an overall GPA of 3.92 but now I want to spend this month thinking about myself and my health. Not my friends. Not my ex. Just me. Just me this month.

I will be the runner I want to be.

OH YEAH

About to get back into it!!

Going out on the road tonight. :)

I am also reading this book while home for the winter. So excited!
