Catching up!

 It's been so long since I've actually taken the time to write a blog. I've honestly missed it. I've thought about sitting down and doing a quick blog many times but then I think of how long it's been and all the catch up I'd have to do, so anyway, today I'm catching up! Many, MANY things have happened since my last post. Not sure where to begin so I'll just start with today.

I'm still running! In fact I've got sprints on the calendar for today. I haven't done speed work in ages, so today is as good as any to get started with it again. I have two running friends joining me which is awesome because it's much easier to keep sprinting and pushing yourself when others are chasing you or your chasing them!
I'm a little upset with my Garmin right now. It's been my training buddy for a year now, but I haven't been able to get it to turn on this week - it's missed three runs with me. Today, I try it one more time and it turns on and says low battery. Last week, I took it off after a run and charged it then I wasn't able to get it to turn back on. What's up with that Garmin?!? Happy it turned on now though...maybe it'll work tonight!! I think this is a good sign to start looking into other training buddies. Maybe a Polar or a free app for my phone like RunKeeper. The free app would definitely be the more affordable option and a great back up when needed. I just need to invest in an arm band and ear buds...maybe I could try running to music again. If you have any suggestions on arm bands/ear buds/running apps let me know!!
