Back on my feet again

I went for a run today with my cool christmas gift - a brand new pair of Nike+ running shoes fit with the cute little i-pod accessory.  I had about $10 left on my gift card so I was also able to score a pair of running pants (After exhausting all possibilities in the women’s department, I actually found them on clearance in the boys section…I guess it pays to be petite sometimes).  Even after not running for about a month, I was surprised that I kept up my pace…which isn’t great but at least I’m consistent.  I was also pleasantly surprised to find discover that the route I generally run is about 3 miles in distance.  Today I ran 2 miles (my i-pod tells me how far I’ve gone every half mile).

My goal for this summer is to complete a 10k.  I’m tempted to step it up to a half marathon but I also need to be realistic.  Spring & summer are my primary training months.  However with the decent weather that we’ve been experiencing, I may as well get a head start.
