Running.

I've recently decided I want to be a bit more serious about my running. Not necessarily ready to train for a marathon or anything, but I at least want to make it a regular part of my lifestyle instead of doing it whenever I feel like it (not always often, I can tell you that!).

I've been kind of inspired by my friend Sara, who's running a half marathon in May and has been blogging about it. Not sure how far I'll get with this, but I have a goal of getting to 7 miles by the end of the year. Right now I think the longest I've gone is around 5.5 miles.

Anyone else a runner? I would gladly accept tips for getting motivated, which is the hardest part for me. I can't for the life of me get my butt out of bed early—thank goodness I don't have to go to class until later on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and don't have work until 1 on Wednesdays. Good music to listen to would also be appreciated, especially if it's energizing.
