i did it.

i can’t really say it felt good (despite what i said on dailymile). it hurt. i am SO out of shape.

but, it DID feel good to actually get out of bed and run this morning. and hopefully it was just what i needed to get my ass in gear and start officially training.

big thanks to kimbaland for keeping me honest! (and way to go on your run this am too!)

… with a rest night!

yes, probably not the best way to kick off my training, but I needed to get my life in order before embarking upon my ridiculous journey over the next year.

so tonight i went grocery shopping and stocked up on my go-to training meals (so much pasta and chicken breasts) - and also made on last (yeah right, i cheat all the time!) decadent meal of steak au pouvre!

i also cleaned up my apartment and did a few other things that have been on my “list” for a while now so that i can free up my time.

launching into this whole year of marathons is just as much about being prepared mentally as it is physically.

also - i told myself i would run tonight - so since i totally made up this lame excuse of a rest night when i told myself i would run, i’m going to run in the morning (NO EXCUSES!)
