Let the training begin

I decided to treat myself to a new i.pod today since my last one died recently.  I used to enjoy running quite a bit, but haven't been doing much lately.  I have the Ni.ke Plus system, which is a sensor that you put in or on your shoe and put a sensor in your i.pod nano. It tracks your miles, counts your calories and has a pretty cool site.  You can start challenges, which my family does a lot.

So, as a distraction and as an effort to drop the 30 "trying for a baby" pounds recently gained, I am training for a 10K.  I've only done a 5K so this should be interesting.  I just signed up for a 5K in March and am looking for a 10K in the June timeframe.  I'm hoping that this race will turn into a nice ttc distraction (who am I kidding, I'm hoping I'm knocked up before either race!).

For those night time runs I ordered this:

It's a cool hat that has a flashlight built in.  Since I'll be running with my dogs I need everything to be as hands free as possible.

These are the things I'm using to motivate me.  Does anybody else have anything that motivates them to stay or get healthy?
