Back to hitting the pavement

I am finally back to running! After taking way too long off and being extremely disappointed in the fact that I bowed out of the Buffalo YMCA Turkey Trot, because I wasn't ready for an 8k, I decided I needed to lace up my sneaks and get back out there. Just in time for the snow and cold!

I really hate running in the winter mostly because its always dark. Its dark when I wake up and its dark when I get home from work. But if I want to get back into it, I don't really have any other option (Treadmill is on my Christmas list).  I decided that the best way to commit to running was to sign up for a race, and whats better then doing a race and going on vacation? Um nothing!! Runcation it is! We are heading to the Miami South Beach Half Marathon on March 9th! I am soooo excited, not only do I get the chance to do my second half marathon, but I get to go to South Beach for 4 days! Countdown is on.  I'm planning to do the Buffalo Marathon again in May but I am doing the full this year, so Dan and I are going to time out our full marathon training so that we hit the halfway mark right about the time we head to Miami! I guess I better add some more warm, winter running gear to my Christmas list too, since its more likely I'll get that then a treadmill.

On a completely separate note, we are finally moved and settling into our new home! Here's a few photos to leave you with of our new home sweet home! We have many rooms left to go, but at least the two main rooms we live in are nearly done! Kitchen renovation to begin after Christmas! (hopefully)
