Addicted

I am addicted to two things: jogging and Pinterest. Let's begin with Pinterest. Have you heard of Pinterest? I'm sure you have. I'm sure you've seen those red "P" logos when you're surfing the internet. Well, I started it with some hesitation when it debuted, uncertain that it would really be something I would want to spend time on. I thought it would be one of those apps that I would end up deleting from my phone when I needed more memory. I was wrong. I am seriously addicted to Pinterest. In fact, I spend more time on Pinterest than I do on Facebook. When I get ready for bed, it means I'll be spending half an hour on Pinterest before I actually close my eyes (according to a pin it says that this is one of the bad habits that prevent me from getting a good night's rest...). My husband laughs at my addiction to Pinterest, but hey, he benefits from my addiction. How so you ask? Well, there are quite a few things I have actually tried from Pintere

March Fund-raising Jogathon

March started out cold but ended with a nice run in Pasadena as I was in LA for a week and a half. The total mileage for March is: 32.7 miles. Thanks for your sponsorship!

February's Fund-raising Jogs

So this seems like a random post after an entire year of not blogging. However, in some ways it represents what I have been doing away for a year - disciplining myself and persevering no matter what the weather. I have begun to jog and had actually increased my running to 6 miles before all those snowstorms hit in February. Hopefully the weather will be better - although I do run even if it's in the 30s so I'm just looking for some milder weather (today it was 18F in the morning). My friend and I are actually planning to run a 10K in April so I do have to get some more runs in before then and get myself back to running 6 miles. So, I thought a motivating factor would be to use my jogging as a fund-raiser for some of my projects that I am working on through my non-profit and with my classmate. I sent out a letter to my friends and have gotten a few sponsors for $1 per mile minimum, per run over 3 miles. Unfortunately I only got in two runs for February for a total of 8.
