26 and I'm back

I'm FINALLY back. Not too surprising that my last post was entitled "Slump" right? I can't believe it's been a month and a half since I last posted. Since then I have been working and running out but not as hard core as I would have liked. The last quarter of the year has been difficult for me as there have been a lot of changes in my life. These changes have for the most part been extremely positive and exciting, but have still required major adjustments -- moving to a new city, starting a new job with LONG hours, learning the ins and outs of co-habitation, getting engaged AND planning a wedding.

When I originally started this blog, I had the goal of losing 20+ lbs by my birthday. THAT didn't happen. I did lose 7 lbs, but still roughly 15 lbs. from my goal. I had also planned to run two more half marathons before the end of the year and that didn't happen either. The week before the third half marathon I signed up for, the Ruben Studdard half marathon, I got sick and had to make a trick quip to the hospital so I had to lay that to the side. Although I didn't run the half-marathons, I did manage to run three races (that I blogged about) that were not in my initial plans.

As the new year begins, I have a new set of resolutions and can still look back at 2011 as a PHENOMENAL year for me. I made a decision to run for my first half marathon and did it. I ran a second half marathon and finished a Rebel Race with three other friends and I began to at least solidify my interest in and commitment to working out, running and creating a better me in a legitimate way.

I'm happy and I can't wait to share my 2012 resolutions with you all.

Also, I'm back for real. I missed blogging and I do think it really helps me stay on track.
