Day 1...Partial Success

So today did not go as I had hoped or planned. I woke up with a headache so bad I was laid up in my bed until 3pm. I think the drop in pressure after five days of sunshine was the cause, because my sinuses felt like they were going to explode and it truly felt like someone had taken a baseball bat to the back of my skull. (Yes, I DO know what that feels like, FYI)!

I felt better after a sinus pill and a smoothie (if you haven't tried it yet, add some Greek yogurt to your smoothie...divine!) so I decided I'd still go to Bodyflow, and let me tell you, I am so glad I did! It was an excellent class, and I did better than usual with the balance and ab tracks!

I am now headed to bed, hoping to feel up for a run on the treadmill and maybe a yoga class tomorrow.

Here we go again...

So I officially suck at this blogging thing, as well as keeping myself in shape. I have made a decision though, after seeing a few people close to me finish the Bluenose Marathon this past weekend: I want to run the half marathon next year. I have one full year to get myself in shape, so I can ease into things. I am going to start with the Couch to 5k Running Plan. It's only a two month plan, but as someone who has never done any form of distance running before, I don't want to overdo it and hurt myself. So, here we go. Day 1 is tomorrow. I am returning to the gym tomorrow for some time on the treadmill, and then tomorrow evening I am going to BodyFlow with my friend Rhonda. If anyone has healthy (but still yummy) recipes and a recommendation for a protein powder brand that doesn't taste like ass, please let me know; the stuff I have is really gritty and it's all I can do to get the stuff down. And if anyone wants to join me on this adventure, let me know! On that note, it's time to get some sleep. Night!
