I need a hobby...and time...

You know how I said we are all so busy and I can't even keep up with myself let alone everyone else? You know how I haven't really even cleaned the house we moved into four weeks ago? And that part about how I usually work at least 10-11 hours a day? So, I think I need a hobby. Really. Not a crafty hobby, but a physical one where I can take out some tension--a kick butt type of hobby. Now, I played tennis, ran and danced (in my more fit days). Those are NOT contact sports--I was never one for getting hit, punched, kicked, pushed, etc. So maybe this is a mid-life crisis? I need ideas for something to do (and I need ideas for when I can do it). My co-worker suggested I take up running again--he figured they make cute running shoes so I'd go for that. Point well taken. Any ideas are welcome (cute shoe wear is a plus)!

  1. I vote running! I started a week ago and I think it's going to be my new "me time". I went to running central and they did all these crazy things to determine what kind of shoes I needed (I have a neutral foot, high arch apparantly). Anyhow, I haven't actually run since college, so I know I need to take it slow. I bough an app for my phone that's a 9 week program to build me up to running a 5k by the end. I am half way through week two and I LOVE it. It tells me when to run and when to walk, so I just space out and do what I am told. I can't wait to be able to run my first race and maybe even a marathon before I turn 35! We could run one together :)

  2. I have been...since Christmas. Slow going, but I got new gear for Christmas. I will have to try that app. I committed myself to running the Jingle Bell Run with our JROTC kids, so I can't stink :)
