This week should be a good one. I hope. The Neuroscience Symposium that I've been planning and working on for about 6 months is done now. HUGE deep sigh of relief here. Until about February, that is, when I'll begin planning all over again!
I need to catch up on school. That crazy Symposium was a huge time-suck, and I'm a little behind now. Time to get Dropbox up and rolling and take At Your Cervix' advice and print out notecard-sized notes. Brilliant.
I also come to day 30 of my Whole30 on Wednesday. I can't believe I've actually stuck with it. It's a huge thing, you know. I'm the ultimate procrastinator and never-finisher. But like I keep saying, this is my year. It's time to get my stuff together.
I officially started my C25K program today. Holy crap that was brutal. I'm WAY out of shape! I ended up going a little over 2 miles with 1 minute of running followed by 1.5 minutes of walking. I'm going to do this three times, then up the ante, as described in the C25K program. I got a handy-dandy app on my iPhone that lets you play your own music (iPod, Pandora, whatever) but there's a voiceover every however-many seconds/minutes that tells you to run, walk, or cooldown. It even tells you when you're halfway done! So, 9 weeks to 5k. Then I'll bump it to 10k, then a half-marathon. Yep, it's officially my goal. I want to run in the Two Cities marathon/half marathon next year. I also want to be able to run for various groups (for instance, the American Heart Association and Susan G. Komen for the Cure have 5k's in my area every year). I've joined gyms and not gone, I've tried working out at home and not sticking with it. Dang it, I'm going to run.
Being that Trav wants to stop at 4 babies, I may only have one more pregnancy and birth ahead of me. I want to go into that (whenever it is) healthy and fit. I want to experience labor not as a huffing, puffing, out-of-shape momma. I want to labor strong.
