February is the coolest month!

So many exciting things have been happening in recent months.  I had the opportunity to visit my family in Oregon over Christmas.    We even stayed a couple days on the spectacular Oregon coast while I was there.  You can see a photo of Haystack rock here.  :)

Since I've returned to Maui from the holidays naturally I have been thinking through goals for 2012.  They are developing as the year progresses. 

In the area of health and wellness I have enrolled in a class to get certified as a personal trainer.   I have been studying a absorbing as much information as possible in the last two weeks.  As I study I keep thinking I need to be living out the lifestyle as well.    So each day I am making an effort to make progress towards my physical fitness as well.

Since I started running for "fun" in 2005 I have heard about these crazy runners who run absolutely every day for years and years.   Every time I hear about these people I think, "that's nuts!" and "I want to do that!!!"

Recently I received a flyer for a Leap year fun run.  Its basically getting everybody to get out there and run, walk, jog or crawl on February 29th for 2.9 miles.  This run wont be held again for another 4 years so I want to encourage anyone who reads this to register and do it too!   Go to lifeasarunningmom.blogspot.com and sign up!  Its going to be fun!!!  :)   I decided that I will run everyday of February (at least one mile)  so I can say I ran for 29 days straight and on the 29th I ran 2.9 miles.  :)  Its going to be fun!  :)  So to keep me accountable I am going to try and snap a photo every day on my run and post as many of them as I can on here.  :) 












So here are a couple pictures from my last two days.

Day 1 - 1.27 miles:

Day 2 - 2.56 miles: 

OK...  its been two awesome days in a row and I'm looking forward to tomorrow!  :)  Aloha!
