NEW post

NEW location!
I have graduated from college in Boston and now I am in Utah.  I've been here a little over a month now and of course I've been getting back into running in the lovely mountain air!  I miss running in Boston, but Utah has it's beauty.  I ran a good 7 miles when I first got home and it was brutal.  The altitude and heat were a great combination.  After that I took it easy.  3 miles was about a normal distance for me.


NEW mountain bike!
I went mountain biking for the FIRST time and well.....I biffed it pretty hard and was left with some zombie bite looking bruises.  Running after that didn't feel too fantastic.  I took it easy.

This was the worst of it.

NEW shoes!  

I was deciding between Nikes and Asics.  I went with the Nikes because that's what I had before and well, they look freakin' awesome.  I call them my pink ninja turtle shoes.  They are Nike Free Runs and they are AMAZING. I love running in them.

NEW race!
I signed up for a 10K on the 24th of July.  I have done this race before so it's not technically new, but that was 2 years ago.  So we'll see how well I can do this time around.


NEW attitude!
I woke up around 6AM (I was laying in bed for awhile, so probably awake around 5:30AM or earlier) because I wanted to go running.  My mom and I drove to Liberty Park and ran. I ran four laps around the park.  It felt good.  I feel stronger and well.....I've been a lot better about running and keeping my attitude higher for running.  I want to wake up before the sun as much as I can.  I can do this. :)


So as you can see, there are a lot of new things in my life and I am sure there are more to come.  I really want to keep running for something.  I am running now for: training for the 10K, health/getting fit, and enjoyment.  I love to run and always will love to run.
