Not Running but Living Life

While I should have been running tonight, I instead had a night to escape my mourning of a potential relationship. Great night!! Sushi, drinks, laughs, dessert, great company...shall I say more?! hehehe Running will be there another night....

Stuck In a Rut!

rut (n.)
1. a furrow or track in the ground, especially one made by the passage of a vehicle
2. a fixed or established mode of procedure or course of life, usually dull or unpromising

In the past, being “ in a rut” was just a waiting period for me. It was a period of time where I waited for something to happen to make life exciting or interesting again. A new friend, a new guy, a new opportunity, a new something to bring some sort of “life” to my life. But now, I must take things into my own hands!

I have always had the dream of running a marathon. This dream seems almost impossible since I HATE running. But something keeps constantly drawing me to this dream. Enough for me to buy running and marathon books and even give running a try. But life and my lack of motivation have gotten in the way.

Now that I am settled into a stable job and starting to feel empowered. It is time!! So, here is to my new life. I am going to run out of this rut. And make my own rut. My own “running rut.” I want to be healthy and happy and fulfill all of my greatest dreams.

This blog will document my journey as I train for the Nike Woman’s Half Marathon in San Francisco on October 17th.

Tonight was my first run towards training. I did walk most of it. But the point is to get out there right?!
