Week two is complete on my plan and I am definitely starting slow but I would rather start slow and ramp up then start fast and fizzle out. So here is to consistency!
I didn't weigh myself this week because I started to obsess a bit and I am a firm believer that numbers are not everything. But I have been running more and thinking about race plans this week. I got a great workout at CrossFit this week so exercise has been ramping up a bit.

I did make a bit decision this week which may seem a bit counter productive but stay with me, I quit my running team. For two seasons now I have been running with a women's running team which I was actually a board member for last year. But this year I decided that I was going to separate myself from the team. Last year the team got quite a bit smaller due to some other local running options opening up and it seemed like the folks that remained were all fast. Every time I went to practice they would try to pair us up to run together but nobody would be my speed so I would just feel awful about holding people back, or they would write paces on the board and mine wouldn't be listed. I know I am a slower runner but the team was supposed to be open to all. I just got tired of feeling bad about myself every week. I had to avoid a handful of practices which were off the track because I couldn't run with everyone else so I just got left behind. I cried at several practices last year, and this year I decided I don't need that. I am never going to be a super fast runner, I honestly don't care enough, I actually just like to run and I don't want to start feeling bad every time I go out for a 36 minute 3 mile run!
Also I get to run in beautiful places, check this out :)
