Half marathon training is underway! Thankfully, my rockstar trainer, Jodi, knows how to train people for (half) marathons and hooked a sister up with a running schedule. The plan is to focus on speed and not so much on distance soo we shall see how that goes.
In this last week, I have fallen in love....my my Nike + iPod app...shit is AMAZING! It talks to you, tells you your pace and distance and logs it for you! Only downside is I am running with my iPhone, getting it all sweaty..probably not good for it but whatever!
Going to Kansas City this weekend and plan to run 5 miles with my gurl, Julia. Maybe a run through the woods? It's funny because us hanging out used to revolve around where we were gonna eat/who's couch we were gonna sit on--if only our chubby 15 year old selves could see us now :) (but seriously where are we eating after..?)

hi...yiiikes..sorry
Ok so I think we all expected this to happen..all 2 of us that actually read this (thanks, Julia). It's been over a month since my last blog post and I feel like a real shit head. Here is my attempt to revive Skinny[Party]Girl.
Since we last spoke my fitness goals and aspirations have changed dramatically. A month ago I still had plans to squeeze my ass into a pair of booty shorts and a half top for the Chicago Bulls dance team tryouts in August. This little pipe dream has since bursted because a) panty hose and split sole jazz sneakers were part of the required tryout uniform (ew.) and b) even if I dropped the lbs and made the team I wouldn't really be able to be on the team because I have this weird thing called a job (boo).
SO once I made this decision I made another hasty/spastic/impulsive decision to sign up for the 2011 Chicago Half Marathon on September 11. I was mostly peer pressured into signing up but now that I have I am totally jacked. I rushed out to Fleet Feet to get fitted for new running shoes, bought the Nike + iPod sensor and some new fancy socks...I am set! (and broke).
Check out my new Nike Lunarssss <3
This goal is actually attainable because it doesn't really matter how flabby my abs are when I cross the finishline! Plus my bff Julia (http://www.theboskyblog.com/) is going to come to Chicago and run with meee :)
I promise to update on my 8 week half marathon training adventure extravaganza.
