DISTRACTED FOR 8 MILES....

I've decided im going to start blogging about the fun and crazy things in my life.
I want to share pictures, stories, and just plain write!

Let's see, what shall I begin with....

MARATHON TRAINING.
ugh. it's not as easy as it sounds..wait, does it sound easy? nah. 8 mile long runs, and that's not even long! in a month i'll be blogging about 16 mile runs (and icing my joints as i do) and 8 will seem like nada. It's a great experience, when we're consistant. Rob and I are training together, and it's great to have someone to run with, keep you motivated. It's not great when you get sick, don't feel like running, and get deconditioned. but that's all in the past:) it's a new week, we have 3 more runs to complete! and i've started using cognitive training...that is, totally distracting my self during our runs, counting my steps (which sounds boring, but just about anything will work when you want to distract yourself from running torrey pines reserve "THE HILL").
If you can set a goal for yourself in a few weeks, a few months, it will make your exercise so worth it. I can't imagine all the exercise without having a goal, SOMETHING, to keep you motivated. so start out with walking or running a 5k, then move onto a 10k, and so forth. We've all started at the beginning, a point where it hurts so much, feels so hard, but if you just keep at it, slowly, safely, you WILL make it! I know hundreds of people who are proof of that.

Well, off to play free cell (addicted!!) and relax after a 13 hour work day (2 jobs).
