Best Gift Ever

Did I ever mention my incredibly awesome, loving, giving boyfriend? Well if i haven't, my apologies. He is absolutely amazing.

Today i checked my mailbox and what did i find, my incredible bf sent me a gift. What was it you ask? Well of course you want to know, who am i kidding:

I got a GPS watch.

Now some of you will read this and not be nearly as excited as you should be. Now i know my first (real) 5k was a HAM. It was. But that is NOT stopping me. I have another 5k scheduled in just 6 weeks. And then I have a 10k the next month. Lastly, I have a half marathon scheduled in May.

Wth am i thinking? Good question. No. GREAT Question. I'm turning my low carb life into a more fit life as well. And i'm trying running. I used to be one of those people who would respond to questions about running with "I don't run unless i'm being chased". But dangit. There's a great weightloss saying:

"Diet makes you look good with your clothes on. Exercise makes you look good naked"

And well.... I want to look good naked. I also want to be as healthy as possible. So, why not choose another type of exercise. Good question. I have. And while i have enjoyed some (read: most) things more than running, i need some real accountability. What better way to stay motivated than to have a race on your calendar. Or at least that's my logic.

So anyway, back to the point. I'm going to take my gps watch out for a spin tomorrow! I want to try running in the evening because, well, i want to sleep. LOL Waking up early is just not fun.
