Trying to pick up the pieces

It feels like forever since I have blogged or really ran. It probably has been too. I have found the longer it is between workouts, the harder it is to get back into the groove of things. My pace has severely suffered or maybe it is my buddy's pace but I have slowed significantly and it upsets me. I am not far off my weight so I don't think it will take much to get back into the swing of things pretty quickly. As for the pace, it hasn't really helped that The Man hasn't been home much to babysit Thing Three or occasionally Things Two and Three which leaves me with a stroller or not going at all. I need to do something soon. My friend challenged me to do 1000 miles in 2011. I had only planned on doing 500! I thought that was ambitious! Apparently not. I have to get going on things today! I am going to try something new. If I can start losing more weight I think that it might encourage me to do better. Here's hoping! I am going to incorporate more protein into my diet. We'll see how it goes and I'll let you know.
