Rain Rain Go Away

Last Sunday, March 22, it seemed like a good day to go running. I ended up going out the night before not planning to get wasted but it still hurt me in the morning. Plan was to go jogging at 8:30am but I just could not get myself up until 9:30am. On my way to Leah's house it started to shower a little. The clouds were coming in and it started to ran. There was no way I was going to run in the rain. Plan #2 was to go to 24 hr Finess. I had my cousin with me and she didn't have a membership. I thought I would be able to get a day pass but that didn't work out. Plan #3 was to try to get in to LA Fitness using my roommates pass but we had to go home first to get it. We finally were able to work out by 11:30am. I was still hung over but I got on the eliptical and just pushed myself. I've don't think i've tried so hard to workout but it eventually worked out. Lunch was at my parents house so I didn't feel so bad about eating delicous homemade food. Since then, I only missed working out yesterday. Today, i'll be going out again with some friends so I will workout before I go. I used to say there was never anytime but the truth is that there is time, you just have to plan it out even if you have to go during lunch like I did on Tuesday. XOXO workout girl haha

For the past 2 months I have gradually started to run more often. I also registered for the Bay Bridge Walk/Run on Coronado Bridge May 17, 2009. http://www.mwrtoday.com/Sandiego/BR%2009%20info.htm It's only about 4 miles and it will just give me a feel for what to expect because this is my first run. It's the 23rd annual event supporting The Quality of Life Programs for Navy personnel and I feel that my support counts for something since my dad was in the navy.

I am starting to train...going to the gym more than usual and just being more active in general. I knew Miramar Lake was a good spot to start since it marks how many miles on the trail. It's 5 miles all around and I was able to do it last Sunday which was the first time I went around the whole lake. This past Sunday, I did it again and it feels so good! It's always a great feeling when I've accomplished something even if it's not a big deal or milestone type of moment.


I've also started to track my runs through this cool site that was referred to me. It's amazing that I never knew about this. It will help me see my progress the next couple months. At least that's the goal.
