I'm Back and Better than Ever! Well, at least Better than Before!

Ok, it has been around a year and a half since I last posted so I decided today is the day to start again! Well, a lot has happened during my hiatus; almost 20 pounds lost, a half marathon under my belt and I am playing soccer again. My marathon dreams have disappeared but I am not down on myself because of this. I have a love for running now and I have found that a half marathon is good enough for me!!! I guess I might need to consider changing my blog title!?

Today I ran 5 miles outside and it felt good. I bought some new running clothes yesterday that I like a lot. I really feel like a good top that is designed for running helps, instead of a bulky tee shirt that can chafe and get in your way. I am trying to run 3 time a week and I am playing on two soccer teams so I have two game a week as a cross training time. I want to do a half marathon in November so I need to start working on some more long runs again. This summer was so hot so I didn't do a lot of them well actually I think I did one 7 miler and that was it and all were under that.

I am loving soccer. I can't remember if I was playing soccer when I started this blog. I think I have been playing for around a year and a half now. It really was an answer to prayer. I had prayed that I could some how play again and about a week later a gal from my past called to see if I could be on her team in Springdale! I have scored 3 goal this season, yay! I just started playing on a co-ed team, that should be fun and a little less competitive, we will see. First game was suppose to be last night but got canceled.

Well, this was fun! Maybe I will try to keep this up and going! Until my next exercising adventure!
