I'm back! And running!

Well I'm back from my blogging hiatus with a new name and focus. Words from a Wobbly Yogi has now become Running, Reading, and Rocking. I still love yoga, but it has definitely taken a backseat to running.

So the when I stopped blogging I was training for a 5K, the Color Blast 5K. That went terribly. I wasn't nearly as prepared as I had hoped. That didn't stop me and I did another one in May in Frankfort, Kentucky. That one went wonderfully! Finished in 35 minutes and some change with two of my best friends in the world by my side.

Glow in the Park Run. That's me on the far left! So much fun!

So I kept running and did another one in August: The Glow in the Park Run. That one was a little hotter and the training was harder because of the heat, but I finished in I think about 38 minutes. Not too shabby considering I wasn't running like I'd like to.

The last race I did was at my college's homecoming. Very underwhelming race, but I finished in 32 minutes. However, I think the route was short because my Garmin said it was. So I'm taking that time with a grain of salt.

I've been running since that race attempting to increase my distance so I can, just maybe...run a half marathon in the spring! I'm planning on doing the Country Music Half Marathon, but like I said I'm working on increasing my distance to see if this is my thing. And so far...it totally is. I've been running about 4 miles as my long run and it is glorious! I'm planning to increase that this weekend to 4.5 miles.
