run

Let's talk about running today.

I am not a runner.

In fact, this pretty much describes me and running to a T.

And if I'm totally honest, you'd really need to call an ambulance since instead of running from whatever is chasing me, I'd just lay down and let it eat me.

But I've been watching my best friend, Amber, train for a marathon and thinking her running shorts look pretty comfy.  Then she got new shoes and I always want new shoes.

And then I went swimsuit shopping in Arizona and had a little issue with some extra skin on my back and pouch (which is what I call the puffy spot under my belly button).

After much research, I learned that fudge cake and wine will not shrink my problem areas.  I've accepted that I need a little cardio in my life.

Disclaimer: I do not think I need to lose weight.  I've been blessed with an insane metabolism that has kept me at my high school weight for 11 years. 


We have a big dirt circle around our house that has 2 hills.  Pretty much my own running track right outside my door.

Being healthy and having more energy and getting out of my house without children is sounding pretty wonderful.

My excuses are dwindling.

So, I'm running.

Not very fast.  Not very far.  But I'm running.

With cute new running shorts and some kicking new shoes.
