Working on that Comeback

Okay, so I haven’t been running regularly, especially since a few weeks ago when I had what probably was the pig flu. I have been trying to get back on the bandwagon, but it’s gotten darker and my excuses have gotten more interesting.

Over the time since I’ve taken a break from workout blogging, I had good and bad weeks of exercise. I’ve put on a few pounds, lost a few pounds and put some on again. Nothing more than up 5, down 5, but I can feel it. My muscles are more jiggly and my lungs ache from a short burst of a jog with my chihuahua, Bambi. Sad, very sad. I used to be the "fitness nazi" and now I’m a crazy high school librarian with a super busy photography business. I’ve neglected myself way too much & for too long.

I’ve also not really run any races, not for the fact that I didn’t sign up. Some I signed up for and it rained, blah blah excuse blah. Well, I am signed up for a race I did two years ago, another Half Marathon. I started this blog back when I was gearing up for that race. I was motivated, excited to share and just plan raring to go!

I’m a little less motivated and a little lazier this time around. But I’ve had enough. Enough excuses, enough of doing for everyone else and neglecting myself. I’ve gotten lazy in my body and in my mood. This isn’t me. Those who know me still think I’m a runner, even though I don’t consider myself one.

Well, it’s time to get back to business, skip the excuses and be the runner/fitness nazi/exerciser/healthy eater I know I am. Here goes. Join me, will you?

P.S. Thanks to you 3 who left me comments from my last post. I’m thankful someone still is interested in my wackiness. I still check in on all of you :) I have to re-set this thing up so I get the comments when they come in!
