On to a new Challenge!

I have not blogged much since I ran the marathon in San Francisco this past October.  I am a little embarrassed.  I haven't done much running.  I hurt myself pretty badly in that race.  I ended up loosing 5 toe nails, but that didn't hurt.  The sore hip I pushed for the last 10+ miles is what hurt.  I rested to heal.  Every time I would start to run again, my hips would hurt, or my toes would ache.  I finally figured I'd just take the rest of the winter off from running.

Unfortunately this means I've gained weight. 

I've been struggling with this for the past month.  I have a BodyMedia GoFit device now also.  But it wasn't enough to light a fire under my butt.

So I've decided I have to do it myself. 

I have downloaded the Body For Life program.  I think I'll do it.  It will push me back into weight training.  It will allow me to condense my cardio into a 20min workout 3 days a week. 

I figure, if I give it my all, and reach the goals that are set out with every workout, then I won't feel bad about not training for my next race yet. 

So these next 12 weeks are all about the Body For Life program. 

What are you going to do with the next 12 weeks of your life?
