Hey everyone! Welcome Kate! Just checking in, seems so very slow around here! How are everyone's holidays going?
I had planned on taking some time off of running this winter. But then my Dad and sister signed up for the Surf City Half Marathon in February and invited me along. Couldn't pass up an excuse to go to Southern California in the dead of winter and sneak in some more Disneyland time! So now I need to get back on my running routine. Plus it will help me to not gain 10 lbs this winter like I did last winter. So far I've been lazy, using the snowy coldness and inversions (annoying weather phenomenon that causes cold air and pollution to get trapped in the valleys. Exercising outdoors is strongly discouraged.) as an excuse to not go running outside. Not a huge fan of treadmills so haven't been running inside much either. Soooo . . . not starting off well. But I'm determined to hit the treadmill after work today. I've also been doing some expirimenting with the weight machine at the gym. Haven't used one since probably high school, but slowly getting the hang of it again. I've been working out with my free weights pretty regularly, but needing some variety to achieve the results I want.
Hope everyone is doing well and will stop by and write a little. This is the time of year we all need a little extra support!
