Maybe its the stress of the 2nd job, maybe the thyroid, maybe I just eat too much. But the major concensous seems to be that I am getting fatter. Just ask the scale, it will tell you. I don't have all the answers but I am going to do something about it. Oh yes my friends it is that time of year again. RUNNING TIME!!!!! I checked into the Las Vegas half marathon but it is on Dec 7 which is waaayyy too soon. Since I cant make it out of my complex without stopping to walk yet... I think I will stick to the good ol' Huntington Beach the first week in February. Provided it doesn't rain me out like it did last year. But lets not focus on that. I purchased some new shoes for the event. They are ASICS GEL GT-2130's. Which are nothing fancy really... But I'm excited! Also, Lindsay got me a IPOD+Nike for my birthday, which I have yet to use. It is a little chip that hides in your shoe and connects to your ipod which maps out your distance, miles per hour, and even has workouts you can listen to while you are out there running in the wide open spaces. Not that we really have any of those in Las Vegas but you get the idea. So with my new toys in hand I am ready to brave the streets of Las Vegas and get back into running... which really for me is a lope/saunter but who's counting?
