Since I left for break, I've been working out as much as possible. We have a treadmill and bike in our basement now, and I either ride the bike on the difficult level or run. I want to make a trip to the Incline before break ends; it might be my last chance for a while.

I feel so much better when I'm in shape, both physically and mentally. I figure I need it to stay sane after the events of the past year. A goal of mine is to run a half marathon, and then a marathon, but that's going to take a lot of commitment and training. Why not?
