I'm back at it!

Slowly I am getting my lazy butt back to running and it feels good. It's been quite awhile since I've put on my running shoes, so sadly the first few times are going to feel like pure hell, but I know I'll get back to where I was. Still a slow runner, but one that can make it further than what I'm doing now. The last time I was really dedicated with my running was back in October when I completed my first 1/2 marathon. And yes, that still puts the biggest smile on my face. I can't believe it was back in October and I just put this beauty on my car today!
Love it!

Well since I've started back with my running and the weather isn't the warmest, I wanted to look at getting some gear to wear in the cold. Rob and I headed out to check out some fun running gear, and it was also just too gorgeous to stay inside. I picked up a headband to wear around my ears and new pair of gloves.
Any other good suggestions? I want to find a nice windbreaker as well. After browsing a few other items, I went back to glance at the shoes. I'm always looking, but can't seem to ever make the purchase. I always seem to have buyer's remorse before I even make the purchase. Well today I took the plunge and dropped a few bucks on a new pair. You like?
I wanted to immediately go home and start running. I never thought I'd ever be so excited for a new pair of running shoes. Now some diamonds or a gorgeous Louis V. handbag....yes, but not running shoes.

After my big purchase, Rob and I walked around and just enjoyed the sun and being along the water. The B'more Harbor area has some wonderful shops, restaurants and outdoor areas.
After today's gorgeous weather, I'm really hoping winter goes by quickly, because I'm ready to have a glass of wine in hand and enjoy a nice dinner outdoors.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Just got back to it myself. I have a tendency to run a while, then take time off. I am a S-L-O-W runner for sure. Good luck! Love those shoes!
