Back on the Saddle...

So, I hadn't ran since my half-marathon in June. I has gone to the gym a few times, but I hadn't ran. Today I ran...well, run/walked!

In the past month, I finished another school year, got promoted to my own classroom, moved duplexes, setup said new classroom, and began a new school year. To say I've been stressed is an understatement. So, instead of going to the gym like a good, fit person, I've been stress eating/drinking. After a long, exhausting day the last thing most normal people want to do is go to the gym! Of course all the gym brats would suggest that maybe I go before my work day or something crazy like that (note the word "exhausted" used above). I like my sleep! Well, because of all the eating and drinking I managed to gain about 8-10lbs. Something needed to change...

So, I asked my friend/co-worker, M, if she wanted to help me get back into working out. Lucky for me she agreed! We decided to do the "Couch to 5K" program and eat healthier. Today we went after work in a heat index of 101°. It was stinking hot but we did it!! Isn't that the most important part? At least that's what I'll keep telling myself until it gets easier...
