It's Been Awhile

So it's been a bit of time since I've last posted. Christmas break is coming to an end and it's been a really relaxing and fun couple of weeks. I have been running but I'm not up to where I thought I would be due to the crazy and hectic schedule of holiday family events, friend get togethers, and an awesome New Years Eve. I should be on week 4 on my training but I've extended my week 2 for a couple weeks. I am getting comfortable with my week 2 training and feel that after a few more sessions I should be able to get to week 3. With the help of my best friend Casey and her parents private gym I was able to run regardless of snow on the days that I could. Casey has been a great workout partner and her parents are sweethearts for letting me use their gym for free. I appreciate their generosity tremendously and know that they believe in my goal and want me to accomplish it.
So with this crazy schedule and seeing how my body has been getting stronger, slowly but surely, I am thinking that I am going to set my goal to be reached by next fall. I don't want to put any pressure on myself or hurt myself in the process. The half marathon is the overall goal but getting back into shape is the most important thing right now. I want to be safe and successful. I'm hoping that when I get back up to school I'll be able to work a little faster and regularly. Getting back on some sort of schedule is going to help a lot.

Thanks to everyone who has wished me well and given me even more motivation and confidence!
