I haven't forgotten!

I finally bought new sneakers tonight. I was wearing a pair of $10 clearance Kmart sneakers for the last 6 months or so...definitely not good for running (or anything else, really). The pair of New Balance I really want are $145 (OUCH!) and I just can't swing that. There used to be a running store in New Paltz - they fitted me for my last pairs of running shoes - but they closed a couple years ago. I was going to go to Road Runner, but decided to check out Kohls. I found a pair of Avia for $35. Avia and New Balance are the only brands I buy since I have wide feet.

Now...to get back into running. I know I can do it, I've done it before. I just need to find the motivation. I want to be well into it by the time fall comes around, since I will be at school 2 days a week. I can use the gym there for free and I have a free gym at work. Who knows, I might even learn to love running outdoors! :)

Oops.

So...I completely forgot that I had this blog and, needless to say, haven't updated it in over a year. I'm planning on starting the Couch to 5K program again soon. I had minor surgery a few weeks ago and while I feel fine, I tried to do too much too soon and ended up pulling a muscle in my abdomen, which sent me to the doctor and then the hospital for x-rays. Not fun. I'm going to give myself a couple weeks to fully recover and then hopefully hit the gym and the trails again. I'm not getting any younger...I need to do this. I've bookmarked this blog so I'll be back in a few weeks!
Stay tuned!
