Fall is here.....

It is officially Autumn...there are so many things I like about Fall....the cool crsip sunny days, changing leaves, Halloween, Pumpkin flavored everything, Thanksgiving (which im working but I think my mom is coming to my apartment to make us dinner after I get out of work!)......I am totally taking advantage of the fall for my 1/2 Marathon training to get outside and enjoy the beautiful Boston landscapes before the snow comes!

I signed up for the 1/2 Marathon in Disney...I am so psyched!!

Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend March 5-7 2010

Well I am looking towards the future...Assuming I successfully complete the 10K next month, I am signing up for the Disney's Princess Half Marathon on March 7, 2010. My Mom as well as a few good friends have agreed to fly to Disney World for 4 days to cheer me on. My Dad and Step Mom already live in Florida, so they will be there as well. I have almost 6 months to gain another 7 miles and I know I can do it. Once I get through the 6.2 miles, I know Ill have the strength to push forward. Again its an all womens race so it should be very empowering!!I cannot wait! Plus I <3 Disney!! It will be great to get back there. I also hope to be in even better shape physically by then which will gradually make running even easier!

Rascal Flatts Concert!

I am going to see Rascal Flatts in concert tonight with my best friend from college, Jenna. Unfortunately, it is raining in MA and its outdoors. Hopefully it stops raining before 7pm!!

I <3 City Sports

So my new obsession is buying workout clothes. I go to city sports at lunch and always come out with something. I figure investing in exercise clothes is fine as long as you use them. I have been working out pretty much daily since july. I wish I was seeing greater results but it will come with time. I signed up for another run club. This one cost $20 for 6 sessions on satuday mornings through Social Boston Sports. I'm hoping to meet some new people while training for my 10K. I really like the run club through City Sports as well. I've been running 3.68 miles with them. In 2 weeks im going to join the 5 mile group!

So here are my new buys for running outdoors this fall.....The shirt isnt the exact one..but simliar..can't wait to wear them in the next few weeks as the fall air sets in!
