Snowy days


Finally some real snow in New Jersey!!! Its been snowing for 24 hours, everything is buried, and I couldn't be happier. It's beautiful!!
Well, I've had a couple of rough weeks in the running sector. Joined the gym and started running on the treadmill, and immediately my ankles started bothering me. And now I can't seem to figure out how to make it go away. So my running has been only a couple days a week, and not good when I am running, especially this week. Because I've taken extra days off my ability to run the distance/time I want is way down too. Blah!
And I'm so so frustrated that all the work I've done to get here is swept under the rug so easily... I have to figure out a way to accept it though, and remember that I can work back up to it. It's winter, and if my running suffers a bit, I'll have to be okay with that for now.
I did buy myself some outdoor running clothes, which was fun. So there's that :)

Went to the Georgia O'Keefe abstract exhibit at the Whitney Museum today. So so wonderful...
My feet and legs do not feel so good though. Wore my running sneakers, but they are not the right sneakers for walking all around New York for a whole day!! So totally worth it, though. I got to see Jenn and Georgia O'Keefe and Aaron and NYC all in one lovely day.
Georgia O'Keefe's work with color and line is so breathtaking to me... Something about her work touches my soul...

Finished C25K

I finished C25K yesterday! Had a great last run... I went out not expecting to run the full 30 minutes because I hadn't run in 4 days or so. I didn't put any pressure on myself, just told myself I'd run until I wanted to stop. Well, the run felt great! I didn't feel the need to stop at all. So I went and went, and finished my 30 minutes feeling great!
Thank goodness it was such a good run. I have been feeling very unmotivated the last couple weeks, but last night got me sort of back into it! Woot!
