Back At It

I started my Fleet Feet 5k Training Program this morning after not running since December 14.  I took some time off and then got sick with a double cold.  Yes, there is such a thing as a double cold according to the doctor.  I got one cold and before it completely went away I got a second cold.  Good Times.  We had to run 1 1/2 miles today.  I made it about 1 1/4 miles before my lungs gave out.  I think that's pretty good for having a double cold and not running in almost a month. 

Amazingly enough it felt good to be back at it.  And hopefully now that I'm running more, I'll be blogging more.

The Beginning

I've never been much of a writer or a runner but I thought maybe by starting this blog it may help me to stay motivated with my running. 

You can read my title three different ways:

1. Running with me, since my name is Joy
2. Running joyfully :)
3. Or sarcastically running joyfully since I don't usually run with joy.

I started running or jog/walking a little over a year ago in an atempt to try to get fit.  It seemed cheaper than joining a gym, although I learned the truth of that, and it was something I could just go do when I had the time.

This will be my place to go to gripe, tell stories and hopefully celebrate accomplishments.
