Freaked

I'm freakin' out, man! Why you asked? Well...

First, I woke up at 4:30 am to run. I love running, but I never wake up early to do it. I would estimate that I've tried to wake up early about 2,000 times and have really only been successful approximately twice. That works out to 0.1%. Terrible. But this morning I did it! I was wide awake for some reason this morning. I will admit that I tried to fall back asleep, but I just couldn't do it. I was so happy to run to. Once I was out there doing it I kind of wished I could stay out longer and go in late to work. I managed to get 4 miles in this morning.

Second, it's January 8th and it was 47 degrees out when I went running this morning. The forecast is calling for 60 degrees as the high for today. I'll repeat - it's January! How crazy is that!?

Tonight I'm headed to a power yoga class with a couple ladies from my teacher training. It should be a good time. I love this class.

I'm also headed to get my new blackberry for work tonight. Oooo fancy shmancy!

Start of New Year

I haven't posted in awhile because quite frankly, I've been running around with my head cut off. I've been running, but never as much as I'd like. I've been doing yoga, but not as often as I'd like. I've been working, but more than I'd like (kidding of course!).

Since I've last written, I've fully recovered from the achilles injury. Christmas has come and gone and so has New Years. I started my Yoga Teacher Training classes and after 5 weeks I can tell this is quite the journey I'm on. I'm also changing jobs - same company, new position, new manager and new department. As you can see I've had a lot on my plate.

In the running department, I'm attempting to train for the Vermont City marathon, but if I can't get the miles in and don't feel I'm ready, I'll fall back on the Run to Remember half marathon. Both races are on the same day. I'm going to run as often as I can, but in balancing the yoga teacher training and the rest of life, it's not always that easy.

So I will write in my blog as often as I can and I might even start a new one specifically for yoga.

Keep in touch!
