I Ran...I Ran So Far Away...

First of all -

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whee...

Now that that's out of the way, I can get down to business. Boy, has it been a long time since I blogged. But I think I may be back. Just in a slightly different form. As much as I love to read (and book suggestions and reviews will still be part of this blog), there is so much more to my life than just that. And I am feeling like I need a place to put it all out there. So this is it!

Too much has happened to do any kind of recap on things so I'll just get down to the current business.

As my title suggests (and who now has that song stuck in their head?!?!), I ran last night. 3 MILES! Well, in all honesty, I ran/walked for 3 miles. But still. I haven't been on a run since last spring. Probably around this same time. But my crazy dance show is ending and I'd like to keep my self in some semblance of shape so I am going back to running. I have actually been craving it (which is so strange for me to crave exercise). So I strapped on my running shoes and my ipod and set out. It wasn't the greatest course due to uneven surfaces and lots of broken glass but it will do in a pinch. I'm going to try to find some more scenic routes but I'll take what I can get for now.

I thought it was going to be harder than it was (not that I'm saying it was in any way easy). But it was great to be outside with my feet pounding on the ground and feeling like I could do it. I know I have a long way to go but starting is often the hardest part. And I have started. I am planning to do 3 runs next week so we'll see how that goes.

Right now I just need to concentrate on getting through 3 shows in 2 days. That will be more than enough exercise thank-you-very-much.

So I'm back. I'm laced up. I'm ready to go!
