Well, my time for the marathon was ridiculously slow, compared to what I’d planned (5:15) but I was proud of myself anyway - I trained, I completed it, and I accomplished a goal I had set for myself.  Looking back, running the marathon was an emotional accomplishment as much as a physical one–now, I feel as though I can accomplish anything I decide to, and dedicate myself to.

Although I was too sore the next day to work out (strange how that works…) I’m back on track now, and more excited than ever to continue with accomplishing my goals.  Sticking to my diet, as well as my workout plans, and I leave this Friday for my "vacation" for 9 days in beautiful B.C.  I’m excited for that–it’s been a while since I had some "downtime".  I’ve already planned healthy foods to bring with me (camping) so that will be no problem, but I’m afraid the only exercise I will be getting is some cardio from a few runs while I’m there, and lots of hiking and walking… hopefully I don’t fall behind too much.

I’ll take my measurements again and weigh myself right before I leave on Friday–is it weird that I’m excited for that?
