A New Year

Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve posted something, and many little accomplishments have occurred since about Thanksgiving time. I ran my first four miles with Toots while I was visiting the family over the Thanksgiving holiday.  It was coooooold!  I didn’t even sweat until we were almost home!  Toots wrote a little blog about that. Then sometime around x-mas time, I ran 4.5 miles (approx).  I had such a good run that day.  For some reason I thought I ran 6 miles, because I had planned on running 6 miles.  I was so excited that I texted Toots to tell her.  Then I checked the map and realized that I only ran 4.5 miles.  Ha!  Anyway since I thought I had run 6 miles and felt good about it, I used it as my inspiration to actually run the 6 miles.  I like to start each new year by doing things on new years day that I want to do the entire year as to make it a promise to myself that I’ll actually do those things.  So after I madly cleaned my house and cooked a small meal, I set out for a 6 mile run while my baby napped.  It was great!  I ran through a part of my neighborhood that I’ve never been through and met some new dogs.  I felt pretty good.  It feels like the more miles I run, the easier it is.  Isn’t that weird?

Well, I need to do some reading.  I’m in LAST semester of my Masters program!!  Woohoo!!  :)
