Runner Reboot

If you follow me on RunKeeper or DailyMile at all you’ll likely notice that I’ve had 0 activity in the last few months (Since Sept 20th, oh god).

Well, I’ve decided to reboot my efforts. I’ve added the first few weeks of the Couch to 5K training back into to the RunKeeper App and plan to start fresh tomorrow morning. Work has switched to winter hours so I start an hour later but usually only get up 15 minutes later so I have lots of time in the morning. 

In addition I’m asking for a few items to help in my efforts for christmas. First is a Withing scale. I haven’t been on a scale in probably close to 10 years. Partly because I eventually got kinda scared at what the number might end up being and partly because we just never had a scale in the house.  Second is more geeky toys. On top of tracking my running with RunKeeper I’d like to try a Garmin Forerunner. I’ve heard good things and I hope it’ll help with motivation.

Oh and can we PLEASE get the fitbit in Canada already? 

I know it’ll be tough going into the holiday season and trying to get fit but I think I can manage. Until the new year I’ll take it easy and not get discourage hoping to build a base to kick into high gear come 2011.

I also plan on signing up for the Forest City Road Races 5K. Registration is in January and the race is in May so I have more then enough time to train. 

If you’re on RunKeeper join my street team and keep up with how I’m doing and maybe I’ll see you on the road!
