I'm Baaaaaack!!!!

Did you miss me? :p  What I mean by "I'm back" is that I'm back to running, back to physical activity, and "partly" back to blogging. 

The last time I ran was March 6, which was the Susan G. Komen 5K race.  After that, no running or any form of exercise for almost a month!  Ok I went to yoga once and went on the elliptical twice, but that's about it.  No road running, no swimming, no cycling.  Bad bad athlete! 

The weird thing is I actually lost weight.  I was afraid I was gonna gain some lbs. but I lost 2 lbs.  Does that mean I lost some muscle?

This whole wedding planning has really taken over my life.  I know I still have 5 months but I decided to make my own decorations, favors, invites, etc.  We are on a tight budget so everything in our wedding will be mostly DIYs.  That's ok.  I love a good challenge!  It means so much more when you put blood, sweat and tears into it.

Anyway, back to running....

It's April 1 today so I thought it would be the best time to get off my bum and start hitting the pavement once again.   Yes it's April Fools today too and I'm not joking.  I really ran today.  Honest!

I did an easy 3K.  I tell you...there was nothing easy about it!  I felt so tired.  Felt like my body really rested for a month.  I felt sluggish, hot, and dehydrated.  It's 79 degrees here today (READ: my excuse :p).

My triathlon is in June.  I just printed out my training plan to guide and motivate me.  I gotta start training this body to run once again. 

How have you guys been?  I miss you all!
