A New Start!

Good Afternoon Blogging World!

I figured that I love to talk and talk and share and share so a blog is born! I am excited to begin a new chapter. I hope to share all the ins and outs that make me, me! :)

On the way to work today, I was contemplating a situation that I currently have going on and was thinking how small it is in the scheme of things. I may be heart broken, a little off my normal balance, but life goes on. You have to learn to love the person you are before you can let anyone else in. So with that said... I've signed up for my first half-marathon in November!!! WOW. I am already nervous. I guess me putting it out there (and shelling out the 60 bucks) will hopefully get my butt in gear. Every year I say "Oh yes, I will run the Ukrops 10K" but then Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. (the food I mean, haha) gets in the way and the thought of going outside to run is the last thing on my mind. Give me a good SVU marathon, my dog, and my bed and I'm good to go for the whole weekend. Haha but anywho, this is a new me. The new me is exploring new and different things.

So the half-marathon is here in Richmond, VA (http://www.richmondmarathon.com). It will benefit Donate Life which raises money and awareness for organ, tissue, and eye donorship. Although I have no personal attachment to this cause, I am an organ donor and believe it's something that we all should at least look into. I'm a little nervous because before this I've only done a 5k. I'm not exactly what you would call a "gym rat" at this point but I think this will definitely be a good thing for me at this point in time. I need a new goal to work towards at this point in my life and do something for me for once. And lose a few lbs on the way hopefully as well!

I have my training schedule in hand and I'm ready to go!

P.S. - Perez Hilton got attacked today. I am sad for him. I am guilty of being a perezhilton.com addict!
