My MySpace addiction, and a new goal...

It's been far too long since I've posted regularly here.

Sweet Paper Posy, I have abandoned you. I realize that. I've instead been a fool about my MySpace page. Posting photos, posting blogs, and putting up and taking down videos like it's a damn virtual yearbook. I like bulletin boards for things like photos and magazine clippings and quotes and things and MySpace has become that, or a sort of shrine to myself.

If it all has to go somewhere, this is a good place... this blog started out as a place for all of my thoughts and so I've come back to you, my sweet neglected post. And since I have only two readers (who already love me and I them - hi Heidi and Shana!), there's little risk of embarrassing myself too badly here....

So, some great new developments in my life. One of the most exciting (that I'm willing to share at this time) is my new goal to get in shape again, after losing out on about two months of walking/jogging time due to my bum ankle. But I'm not just running to run -- I aim to run a half-marathon next May! Ahhh!

Yes, this asthmatic, pain-phobic chica is going to spend a morning running 13.1 miles - and this is happening in about nine months! Talk about labor pains! I'm nervous about reaching my goal, but I'm determined. I also signed up for a 2K race in mid-October to get my feet wet, so to speak, with a goal of running the one-mile-plus race in 15-20 minutes without stopping or walking.

I'm on Day 2 of my training and so far, it's been pretty rough. Lots more walking than running going on, but tackling these steep Dana Point hills nevertheless. I'm definitley out of shape and have a lot of work to do! One step at a time...
