Training Hiatus

So, I guess it's kind of obvious I'm not training anymore. I was beating myself up for not getting better and not being faster and not being as focused as I was last year. It made me really not enjoy my runs and so I just up and stopped running.

I made a resolution this year to be good to my body by doing at least 30 minutes of excersize 3 times a week. And yesterday I went on my first run since last month. It felt good to just go and not worry about distance. I felt good to listen to my music and get my heart pumping. And most of all it felt good to push just a little farther, but know that at any point I could stop and turn around. I was running because I felt like it and it's been a long time since I've done that.

I might not journal much over here for the next couple of months, except to keep a record of my resolution. That is most certainly a really boring read, so don't feel bad if you don't want to check in over here. If I get the notion to start marathon training again, I'll surely keep you posted, but there isn't going to be an LA Marathon for me this year.
