Sorry for being such a slacker....I just haven't felt like blogging. Life has been pretty busy for me since returning to work....No big news to report..so, I have kind of pushed this blogging thing to the back burner.
How has everyone's New Year been so far? Mine has been good...hubby, the kids and I are all well...battling a few little health problems..but, nothing major...just minor colds, stomach bugs, pink eye and a sore throat....other than that..just peachy.
Winter doldrums have set in....for all of us. Hubby is chomping at the bit to get down South...to visit my family and to go to the beaches of Florida. Just now in the second week of January and I am so ready for winter to be over....I am ready to feel the Spring breeze on my face, to run outside and kick up my fitness again.
I have gained 4 freaking pounds since November....the thoughts of dragging my butt to the gym makes me cringe...I have been going, just not as much as I used to. Compare 5-6 days a week to only 2-3 days a week and then I only give a half-assed effort while there. This is the week I plan on kicking it up a notch...try to go at least 4 times...
The weather has a lot to do with it...I am lacking motivation. It is dark when I leave for work, dark when I come home....it is cold, dreary and gloomy...all I want to do is go home after work, put on my comfy warm robe, curl up on the couch with hubby and not move....
Hurry Spring....I miss you! LOL...
The other day, I configured how many miles I ran for 2010...if my math is correct, I ran a total of 800.10 miles. That is awesome! So, for 2011 my goal is to run several 5 ks, 10ks and at least one half marathon. Total over 900 miles for the year. I think I am going to hire a trainer, to come up with a strength training routine for me. One that incorporates all muscle groups with every set. I want to get as buff as I was last summer. More so..if I can.
Well, guess that's all I have...Hope everyone has a great start to 2011.
