Wow - kicking ASS at this 'regular' blogging thing! Or, you know....not.

Anyhoodle. Time has gotten away form me in a flurry of activities.....most of which I HAVE to do, not WANT to do. Which is overwhelmingly frustrating to me. Despite many discussions with C over this state of affairs, it doesn't seem to change. and I guess the point that I'm at now leaves me wondering if I have to change, he does, we both do, or what the hell is the appropriate course of action?? And this, my blog-world friends (not that I have any yet, but, whatev...) is the ultimate question. To which I have no answer. Awesome.

Moving on....I live in Canada. Where we get like, 4 seasons in theory. This year however, we seem to have gotten only one. I believe it could go by a few different names, such as Craptacular, This Blows, and Holy Shit Not Another Day of Rain and/or Cold. Ok, so that last one is a little long, but you get the point. Now I? Do not enjoy the rain. Or cold. So this year in general is not doing a whole lot for me, weather-wise. Since packing up and moving somewhere tropical isn't really so much an option, much less a possibility EVER, I know I have to suck it up. But that doesn't mean I can't whine about Mother Nature who apparently hates me.

And in another random point. I have a gym membership that I don't get to use nearly as often as I'd like (see paragraph numero deux)....but I think I have an answer to this! Motivation. And more specifically, training. You see, there's this half-marathon thingy that I've been considering. And it's just a little under a year away. And I have never ran a marathon before. This one is taking place in Virginia in September 2010, which should provide me with ample time to figure our if it's even possible, with the added bonus of giving me a reason to go back to Virginia Beach. I have researched various recommended 'learn to run' programs and think I can actually do this (scratch that: I CAN do this). And because I want to start DOING things as opposed to thinking about doing things....I think this is a good start. I can do a 5k or something at home in the spring, as well, which should help me figure out the likelihood of making it to the end without the risk of sudden death. Cuz really, no one wants to end the run with DEATH, do they?

Any suggestions???
