Vacation and the Aftermath

We are back from vacation and had a wonderful time with terrific friends in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Prior to our departure, I was planning on running or walking on the beach every day that we were there. However, it became pretty obvious that this wasn't going to happen shortly after we arrived at the beach house. I was able to get in three good walks and one okay run (about ten miles total) during the week. This certainly is not bad at all, but it was overshadowed by the food and drink that I consumed. This brings me to the point of today's blog. I have decided to embark on a weight loss journey to lose about 30 lbs. (31.5 to be exact). Although I've never really been a weight by the number type person, I think that having a number in mind is very helpful. Running is already at the forefront of my plans. I need to start training for the Richmond Half in a couple weeks, so I already have plans up on my calendar. I'll supplement this by getting back to yoga class when I can and using my dusty eliptical. My goal is to cross the finish line at the Half 30 lbs. lighter than I am now. Wish me luck and Happy Running!!
