Ran today!

Left it a bit late so had to go for a quick one! Really enjoyed it and was able to say 'Good Morning' to my father-in-law on his way to work.

I missed yesterday but you know what its like the first day back to school, nothing happens on time. I couldn't find my keys for work and after being away for 2 weeks, its hard to trace your steps bur found them today, the last place I looked, where I lock up my bike. If I took my bike yesterday, I would have found them! Oh well, I got them back.

How is your resolutions going?

Janathon is here!

As with everyone else, I have a few New Year's resolutions and one of them happens to be to get back into the swing of things and get back into my running. There is no better time than Janathon.

Janathon is a great way to motivate you to get moving. You just have to run or do some sort of exercise and blog about it. Its nice to have a community to support your efforts.

Amongst getting back into running, although I have not signed up for any events at the moment, I am going through a detox as well. I am not just going through a detox for my body, I am also detoxing my life and my house but lucky for you that is on another blog.
I just thought it would be good to clean out the system and help us (Jon and I) be a bit healthier. I got a steamer for Christmas from Jane and looking to use it as much as possible even though Jon says that the vegetables taste too healthy. I also wanted to help lose the weight after Christmas and my inactivity before.

I would also like to work in some strength training a couple of times a week to give my efforts a boost and perhaps a yoga session or two for relaxation. I have been going to the local beauty school for deep tissue massages to work out the adhesions I have on my back. I don't think I would ever let anyone but Clare and Faye to hurt me the way that they do. If you have never had a deep tissue massage, I would definitely recommend one especially before your big day. It does hurt but it is worth the pain. They say no pain no gain! I usually get one done the week before and cannot explain the difference that you can feel. It just helps loose the muscles which after running a huge amount of miles is likely to happen.

Today was a beautiful morning so Dusty and I went out for a nice 3 mile run. It was even better because we were able to say 'happy New Year!' to Joyce and Anna. I guess I get double brownie points because I am going to go for a walk with the dog and the family again.

What is your fitness resolution? What have you signed up for?
