you won’t believe this …

i can’t tell if i’m getting sick or if i have dodged another sickness bullet. i’ve been taking vitamins lately like it’s nobody’s business. it’s my latest effort in improving my health. i figure it counteracts my odd metabolism and hunger patterns.

this past weekend i saw little miss sunshine. what an amazing movie. it was much better than what i had expected, and i was already expecting it to be pretty good.

so last week i did something rather exciting … i’ve been saying i would take up running again as a way to get back into shape. i’m proud to announce that i’ve registered for the shamrock shuffle on march 25th. i’m running it with a bunch of people from work so it should be a good time. it’s only an 8K (5 miles), so it shouldn’t be too bad, or at least i hope it’s not. i’m just hoping that the temperature goes up just a bit so i can start getting ready for it. i shouldn’t take me too long adjust to that but it’s just been so long that i better be sure i’m prepared. if all goes well my goal is to start running a bit more and ultimately i’d love to run the chicago marathon, although i’m sure i won’t be ready for that until 2008. i’m hoping this goes well, i’m just quite satisfied that i’m following through with a new year’s resolution, or at least a new year’s resolution that i’m starting right now: start running/working out.

it should be a lot of fun. it’s only 40-45 minutes of running so i can’t imagine it will be that bad. i’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s a great experience.

so that was my big news that is a bit hard to believe. i’m motivated to make this a year of change.

ugh. okay i’m going to go try and fall back to sleep now. i’m not feeling so great and apparently i’m not able to sleep either. icky, icky, icky.
