Of Running and Gym Memberships

It's been a few weeks since my last post and a few weeks since I finished my 200 hour yoga teaching program. I played with the idea of going back to Bikram, but since I have a gym membership I feel a little strange paying for gym and yoga.

The gym membership was not all my doing, and thus I haven't been going regularly (read: at all). Since I've been bestowed with it in March, I've gone maybe 5 times. That's starting to change. I actually stepped foot in the gym the other day. Hot temperatures and a need to lift weights or do something besides run finally won out.

Well, actually getting on my scale after a month of eating and drinking late and without thinking is what really made me start working out.

I'm no longer inclined to believe that I have to go back to my old formula of 1400 calorie days and 30 mile weeks. I mean, I certainly can but it's not really what I want. It sucks, it's not fun, and that caloric intake doesn't allow for anything extra.

I need to come up with a solid diet and running plan, but for now I'm looking at marathons and half marathons in the fall to see what I want to do. 26.2 is still on my list and I think I may be able to do that in the next year.
