Run Run Run!

Good Afternoon All!

Well I'm sad to report that the 75 degree weather from Friday did not stick. Huge bummer...I woke up to that evil white blanket all over our street and my car. I mean really Mother Nature...we're over it! I got my arm work out in this morning while shoveling our part of the street (in Baltimore it's like unwritten law that you must shovel your block and if you don't people give your house dirty looks, and trust me you don't want nasty looks from Baltimore folk).

I'm even more upset because my plans for running a 5K are becoming harder and harder. These little legs need practice and the snow is not helping!! I've been doing 3-3.5 miles on the treadmill but it's just so different outside...and by different I mean more difficult! I actually detest running but it's good exercise and I've never run a race 1. because I stink at running 2. I'm borderline unathletic (I did have my HS stint in field hockey but that was so long ago) 3. I get nervous running around "real running people" you know the kind that wear heart monitors and check their watches when they start. I mean what are you really looking at?? Anyways I have to force myself to do it because April is just around the corner and I am planning to run the Port to Fort downtown and the Billy Korrow Run at my brother's high school!

I really need some new running shoes so if anyone has any recommendations I would really appreciate it. Right now I have Asics Gels and I really like them and have held up for a year! I like the Under Armour shoes a lot but I'm not sure if they are that great? Let me know what you think!

Tata!
