Decisions...

I made the decision this week to not run the half marathon next month. I actually decided I'm not doing any more long runs. Training was giving me a lot of anxiety and I was starting to hate running. My next goal is to run to enjoy running.
I'm still going to Boulder for the Bolder Boulder but that's all of the runs I'll be doing.
I feel free :) My weekends are back!

I love springtime!



Well after a very rainy March- we hit a record: 28 of 29 days of rain (march 6 and 31 it was dry)... I'm happy to be done with March and into April. I know it will still rain but now it should be more springlike and less winterlike! I do love when I see the sunshine and appreciate it more now.
I haven't posted much but I haven't had much new to say...

RUNNING... I just got back into running after a hiatus. I did 2.5 miles on Friday and 7 yesterday. It was rough but my half is now only 5 weeks away so I have a pretty aggressive training plan for the next month

COOKING... this week the goal is to eat what we have- our freezers are full but next week I'm hoping to cook up some lunches

TRAVEL... We had an amazing trip at the end of March to Ecuador. We explored Quito and the Galapagos Islands. It was pretty cool. I do have a lot planned for the next few months- LA at the end of April for a girl's weekend, back to CO for Memorial Day to run the Bolder Boulder, then studying Spanish in Guatemala for 3 weeks in late June/early July. It seems like the calendar is filling right up. In August my family is coming to visit and we're going to the San Juan Islands in Washington- I'm very excited about that!

WEIGHT LOSS... I'm pretty disappointed on the WL front this week. I lost about 5 lbs on our trip (Ecuador isn't very bingeworthy) but I am now back to where I started :( I was hoping that I could keep it off but I have been starving this week (I'm on a RX for ear infections that is making me hungry!)
