Interests: In terms of interest, I am really interested in finding ways to create a healthier lifestyle, and.. simply put.. not so interested in the running itself. This is something I have just realized, and though it seems like a let down, I don't think it really is. I think realizations like that will only make my project stronger. AND that does not by any means mean I will stop running or run any less, it just might mean I look at my project in a new light, and maybe take it in a different direction... where that is we will see..

Information: I really don't have much information. This is a problem. I have resources, as can be found in my bibliography, but I haven't used them much. I am going to start researching different aspects of running/fitness/health to find inspiration, therefore I will be gathering a lot of information and hopefully learning a lot as well. Though I need to do a lot of research, I have learned a lot about  myself and my body and fitness level. I know that when I take a break from running for more than a day at a time, I fall way behind again. Its like every day I work out is a half a step forward, and every day I don't is 2 steps back. This just means I need to take that into consideration, work hard to get to the gym every day (except rest days,) and not beat myself up if I don't feel up to running a long run. Anyways, I'm going to start researching a lot more now.

Insight: I'm seeing my project in a different way now, well, I hope I will be soon, but right now I'm kind of stuck... I'm following my plan of working out and running, but I don't think that's a great WISE project in its entirety.. Originally I was going to travel to Chicago in May for a 10k race but that option is quite dysfunctional, therefore I need to find a new direction to go in. I am looking into a triathalon in late April, and one in June.

Inspiration: This is what I am looking to find!!! I think I want to look at fitness sections of magazines/ fitness magazines for some inspiration, because they usually have a good smattering of ideas and things to get involved in/ new active things to try. I need to find some quality inspiration to continue and develop my project. By doing research online and in magazines etc I think I will become inspired when I find interesting information. That is my hope anyways!!

Will update soon..
