I think I might have forgotten how to run.

It has been a really long time since I’ve blogged and unfortunately it has also been a really long time since I’ve been running. I went to Feet First a couple weeks ago to ask about my shoes to find out that I’ve gone about 150 miles TOO FAR on my shoes, thus discovering the source of my knee and feet pain. That kinda put a kibosh on the running for a bit. Well last weekend I went and purchased new shoes. The nice and knowledgeable lady who works there helped fit me and I think I finally found a pair of shoes that I love.

I’m very excited about my new shoes! I went for a run on Sunday to break them in. I still had a little bit of knee pain, but I think as I break the shoes in and ramp up (rebuild my base) my mileage, I’ll be okay. Unfortunately due to the holidays and grad school business and whatnot, running has taken a back seat. Furthermore, with work, internship, grad school and NYE coming up, I’m not sure when I’ll run. Ugh. I really need to make it a priority.

I’m coming up on my second running anniversary. I started running January 15th, 2007. Maybe it seems silly, but I definitely feel like it marks a shift in who I was versus who I am today. I’ll do something to celebrate, but I just wanted to mention it.

Running aside, the holidays were good. A lot of traditions were broken this year, which is sad. I’m really not a fan of change unless it’s change I initiate. I got an iphone, some pj pants, a sweet eco-friendly water bottle and tickets to Spring Awakening. I’m totally stoked about the Spring Awakening. For someone who wants to pursue a career in theatre, it’s been far too long since I’ve seen any live theatre.

Work tomorrow. I’m soo looking forward to that. [That statement is dripping with sarcasm.] Then adventure/concert with my favorite adventuring friend. Heck yes for the weekend!
