Running!

My gym membership at BC ran out because I've graduated, which has left me somewhat perplexed about how to best continue to "get in shape."  Previously, I had been focusing on building upper body strength through weightlifting, and either biking or swimming on the 'rest days.' However, with no gym membership, the weightlifting portion of the workout is effectively gone.

About 4 days ago, I decided to replace the lifting with running. I have some friends (hi heather!) who like to run marathons, so i decided that i'd better get back into running to be able to keep up with them. Because I haven't run heavily in a long time (read: 8 years) I am taking my time to get back into it, slowly working up from 2.5 mile runs.

Luckily, the weather here in boston is fantastic, easing the transition from my previous running experience in california. I can't imagine what running in winter would be like. Scary, to say the least.
