I'm Back in the Game

It's been so long, I know!  The first semester at USF kicked my ass!  I had to put running on the back burner for a while.  In doing so though I have gained a few lbs.  I also got diagnosed with a thyroid issue so I'm not sure if it was my eating or my body but either way the lbs are there!  I just started my second semester and now that I have a good idea about what to expect, I am back running and eating healthy.  I started counting calories via LiveStrong.com and their The Daily Plate thing.  I ran two miles today for the first time since August.  My legs are on fire but I feel good.  I feel like this time it is going to stick.  I have a goal and usually when I have a goal it gets met.  I ran in my new Vibram's!  I also got a new app for my Iphone that will track my pace and distance so I don't have to go out and buy one of those fancy watches!! Things are looking up!  I plan to run the Gasparilla 5k or 8k in February!  I am hoping for the 8k but we shall see.  I am going to update a few good books I've read and upcoming races.  I'm feeling good! Oh and yeah, I got a 3.86 GPA last semester!
