It's been a while since I've posted. Been doing a lot of running around looking for all the Christmas trees I can find. I'm a pretty big Christmas nerd! I was able to squeeze in a Turkey Trot with my BFF Thanksgiving Day before hoping on the bus to head to NY for more fun. It was the first event i did with some Chivers. They were so fun to meet! I have yet to meet a Chiver I haven't liked and what better than ones who like to run! It was my first time running around the Capitol in DC. I gotta say it was absolutely beautiful! Would love to do more runs out there when it's WARMER though haha.
I also got the amazing confirmation of being able to run in the Nike Half Marathon next April!! I'll be starting on that training sooner than later. I'm excited to have more time this round. Hopefully I can beat my last time. The point is to keep getting better and always improving right?Well, that's the plan. I'll be running with a bunch of women I've never met, but i'm sure it'll be a good team. They have informed me that we will be wearing team shirts. I'm hoping it's something more on the humorous side rather than badassery. Beggars can't be choosers though, right? Well i can at least dream! I'm also going to have to work on a good playlist for then too. Back to the gel shopping and i'll be breaking in a new pair of free runs for this one. Just haven't picked out which ones yet.Nearly fell out of my chair at the office when i got the news!! I've heard good things about this race... let's be serious here. I'm in this for that Tiffany's jewelry! I bet it will be beautiful OMG i can't wait! I just want to go out running again right now to train for it :)
Other than that it's been the basics... running outside, training at the gym with le BFF when we can and looking for more Christmas trees ...hopelessly chasing after the same high as years before. This year was not at all what i had once thought it would be. That's a part of life though too i imagine. We can never really make plans because anything can happen and not always in the way you'd hoped... Wasn't easy and i'm still pushing through it all, but time waits for no man. So I just gotta keep moving! One day this will all make sense. Until then, i'm just going to laugh through all the pain, hurt and confusion. There is still so much beauty to this life and I don't want to miss out on any of it...
