Run for Your Life

So, I know that I have sworn over and over again that I am going to write more regularly on this page and time and again, I have failed. So, I am not going to make any such promise and simply delve into curing what ails.

First things first, I am officially registered for my first half-marathon. Now, this is not a great distance, or one that I think about as unattainable at all. That said, I am a bit freaked out, mostly because i don't want to be undertrained. Which is fine, except that I also feel that I need to take yoga 4-5 mornings a week in order to maintain some semblance of sanity (I know, the jury may be out on that one still). So, I either look at running uber early in the morning at the gym (which does open at 5:30) or going to run after work. That would be preferable, until I factor in that I also have cultural and work events in the evening, and those are mandatory, not just "drinks with the girls." So, I really am facing waking up at 5:30 in the morning to achieve this goal.....aren't goals supposed to be fun?!?! (oh, wait-see previous lawschool-related entries.....decidedly NOT FUN!)

I have 8 weeks....stay tuned.
