Getting back on track….
Today, I officially start my “get back on track” plan. I know, it’s so cliche… falling off the wagon around the holidays… but for a full time working mom with two little ones at home …. something had to give. If the bronchitis hadn’t struck me down around Thanksgiving… I think I may have had a chance. But here I am, 6 weeks later, with not a workout to log until this past Saturday. But enough is enough…. this past Saturday.. I got up early, got on the treadmill and just ran for 25 minutes (well more like, jog/walk)… it was no record breaking pace… and I quickly realized how fast you can loose your stamina if you don’t keep going. But at least I hopped on and did something. I got some cute new workout clothes for Christmas from my family… which reminds me that I do have a cheering section behind my dedication to this goal of fitness. And hey - every girl needs to look cute when they’re sweaty and stinky… right? I downloading some new tunes on my Ipod and made a date at the gym tonight… before the New Year crowds take over.
Next step…. choosing a 5K for the spring to work towards. A goal in mind seems to really help! And back to logging runs and workouts to keep me accountable! Here I go… wish me luck!

5K Let down
So after the big 5K last weekend.. it took a few days to want to jump back in to my training. And once I did, I have to say, it felt a little disenchanting. Time to choose my next 5K… I need something to get motivated for. I am definitely noticing my stamina is improving… but still 2 miles is my “with ease” point… I have a way to go to hit that “3 miles with ease” goal. Also… I can’t figure out how to get my 5 foot tall body to move any faster than 5 mph… which means almost impossible to ever finish a 5K in under 30 minutes (my goal). Not sure how to make my legs move any faster other than a flat out sprint… and that won’t last for 30 minutes….. Any ideas?
