Today I decided that I want to participate in a half marathon, the Austin half marathon in particular. I've got till 02.14.10. Valentine’s Day of next year. I think I have plenty of time to prepare. 13.1 miles is an intense run, but I feel that if can complete it that I can complete anything. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Registration is closed for until summer which is good by then I should be able to gauge whether or not I’d be prepared for a race like this, maybe I’ll even be able to do another half before before the big one.

I have a long way to go though; I started a run/walk today. I am not going for distance much so than building up endurance at least for the first 4 weeks. I will be shooting for 30-60 minutes of sustained running and build from there. I found a decent route in the neighborhood that I can work out for a while to track whether or not I’m going further faster. But today’s work out kicked my ass. I am so out of shape but it also didn’t help that I decided to take a walk/run at three in the afternoon. I also need to start working on my diet, as of yesterday it has been horrid. I want to have a healthy, lean, body and regimen that I can maintain for a long time. Jesse would laugh at me if I told him, so I won't until I start the (6-7 mile) long runs.

I guess I'll use this as way to be accountable for my workouts, I think its a good idea.
Do you think I'm crazy?

Childhood Dreams

I sit here on my worn in comfy couch this Saturday afternoon and wonder what the hell am I going to do for the rest of my life?

I'm 21 and have the rest of my life head of me, at this moment I feel like I would be content doing nothing for a while. Pathetic isnt it? As a child, I could never make up my mind on anything, and to this day the pattern continues.

Things I've wish I could be(en):
Ballerina
Princess
Doctor
FBI Agent
Political Aide
Forensic Scientist
Chef/Baker
Interior Designer
Fashion Designer
Author
Painter
Photographer
World Traveller
Triathlete
Business Owner

... Thats just the tip of the iceberg.

I wish I could just pick what I wanted to do and that would be the end of it. Or maybe I'll be a jack of all trades. Who knows?

What do you wish you could be or could have been?
