My new hobby

Since I am now 22 years OLD I decided I needed to get a new hobby since I dont really have any others besides being a mommy to 2 perfect lil girls. Well my new hobby is something that I have always HATED doing.. crazy?! just a little bit.. I have picked up on the whole running thing! I dont know if its because I always hated running days in gym class because they made me get a sweaty and gross for the rest of the day or if its because I have never been good at it.  Either way I LOVE it now! I have started the Hal Higdon training program and plan to run my very first half marathon in April.  Again, I am just a little crazy but I am bound and determined to do this and do it for ME! So far it is going great but I am only in my second week HA HA!  I ran my first 3 straight miles last week and felt amazing afterwards... NOT! Every inch of my legs hurt but I know it will just get harder.. I am looking forward to the day when I can say "honey Im going for a quick run" and bust out doing 10 miles around my neighborhood :). That day is far away but I WILL get there!! Thats a promise :) 
I have really been doing some soul searching because I have been in quite a "funk" lately.  I wasnt enjoying things I used to and just basically felt like a machine everyday.  I am so young still and should NOT feel that way.  I should be living life to the fullest and making the BEST out of each day.  I am so lucky to be able to enjoy my girls 24/7 and focus on school without having to work.  But for some reason I just havent felt "complete".  So I have made myself a promise to do something I enjoy doing by myself for at least 1 hour a day.  Either working out, taking a very long bath, watching my favorite movie, or just going for a drive and wondering around a store.  I mentally need this time to myself and so far it is fixing what I feel like I have been missing. My house is not near as clean as I would like it to be, I am NEVER going to be caught up on laundry again, and not everything gets done in the day that I would like to get done but gues what, I DONT CARE!  There is never enough time in the day and before I would have a clean house and caught up on everything but then there was never any time left over for ME.  So I know its a little late but my New Years resolution is to run my heart out (because I really do enjoy it), and spend more time on ME.  Sound selfish? I think not! haha
