i joined a gym. i'm not as weak as i thought. the ole gams can still leg press over 120 pounds. imagine. of course, i've gained about 10 pounds, mostly in the core section of my body (butt and gut). it'll be a challenge with my work schedule to get back into tip top shape and lose the weight but i'm on track and i guess that's what matters most. i need to relieve the stress and get my body back, because really, my body has always been in decent shape. throughout my 20's and 30's, i've always been active whether it be dance classes, the gym or running, i've always been fit. this is the first time in my life i don't feel so fit...like running a 4-miler will just about do me in. so, i need to make this work however i can...

i'm short 3 races to qualify for ING NYC Marathon 2008. so, i'll be fitting 3 races in the coming months. not sure if i'll actually run it since my hamstring still hurts, my knees are shot and the ole plantar fasciitis is flaring up.

did volunteer this year to help with NYC Marathon 2007. got to see Paula Radcliffe win. also got to see Lance Armstrong cross the finish line. it was a tough day to get through though since i'd only had about 2 1/2 hours sleep (due to work) and had to be at the volunteer buses by 3:45am (in manhattan) in order to get shipped to staten island to help at the start village. i drove in and parked my car a block away (what luck!) since we'd be getting bussed back to the finish line in central park. it was a very exciting race to see. there are a lot of people out there that deserve a pat on the back and a nice cold beer. cheers to you crazies for running 26.2 miles especially my co-worker who smoked katie holmes.
