Where Did That Come From!?

This weekend was super busy, but a total blast. Saturday I ran my first race since the New York City Marathon! The race was 6.2 miles in Central Park and I was a little nervous since I'd only run four miles a couple times beforehand. It did rain, but didn't downpour. Thank goodness!
I far exceeded my expectations and I'm so proud! I really think the personal training sessions are helping make me stronger overall. My finish time was 47:17. That's 7:37 per mile! Where did that come from?!?

Here's a super unflattering photo of me during the race...

After the race (don't worry, I showered!) I met up with my friend Chloe at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Rainy days are the very best museum days. :)

Once I got back to New Jersey, Ryan and I met up with his Mom for dinner to celebrate his birthday. We like to keep the birthday celebrations going all keep long!

Since Saturday was jammed back Sunday was full of errands, grocery shopping and laundry... And of course couch and TV time!

I have another race coming up at the end of this month so I need to keep on training!

Back at it

Since running the New York City Marathon in November I've been a bit lazy with my workouts. As the weeks progressed after the race I felt I was getting farther and farther away from my fitness goals.

This month I finally got back 'on the horse'.I signed up for two races. A 5k (3.1 miles) and a 10K (6.2 miles). So far my training has been going well and I'm feeling great. It really is true what they say - the hardest part is getting out the door. I had forgotten how awesome endorphins are!

Maybe I'll sign up for another marathon... who knows! Right now I'm just happy to be back running :)
