Catholic guilt, minus the Catholic.

I got up this morning with a million different things to do at the office and decided that running would have to go on hold for a few hours. Because I only ran twice last week, the guilt of not running combined with the double cheeseburger from Steak and Shake I had for dinner last night sent me over the edge. Thankfully, this morning was relatively smooth and I finished up with my tasks just before noon today. With no more excuses to make, I ran upstairs and changed into some warmer running clothes and took off! Week 2, day 1 is complete!

Since my actual "training" doesn't start until January, I don't quite feel a fire under my tush. I've made it a goal to run 4 days per week until December and then 5 days per week until January. I think its a reasonable goal without having to worry about peaking too early (like I did with my last 5k)!

Thanks to Belle (and her awesome P.T.), I am looking into getting a new pair of Asics in January. Right now I am running in a relatively older pair of shoes (1 yearish). They got me through this past summer and seem to be comfortable for the time being.

I also want to welcome Pocahontas to the blog! Like Belle, I am positive she will bring alot of fun experiences to the Triple Crown Princesses blog :)
