Just thought I'd let ya'll know that I'm 1/2 done with my Couch to 5K training program, and YAY ME! I haven't missed a single workout! Anyone who knows me knows how huge this is for me. I've been a computer potato for so long...
And happy day, the scale has started to slide in the other direction...which I'm thrilled about because let's just say it wasn't headed north due to increased muscle mass. More like increased pie consumption. But that's another matter which you can ask me about later.
The best news is that I've been able to just get out there, do my running assignment for the day, and finish without knee pain! You can't buy that kind of gratitude man. Pain is miserable. I really feel for all the lovely people who live with pain every day, and cherish the fact that right now I'm pain-free.
The trick this week is going to be getting my run in between flights. I am pulling all-nighters every night starting Wednesday...with just 9 hours on the ground to get to the hotel, day-sleep, and get back on the van to the airport again. I'll barely have enough time to catch 8 winks to renew me for another night of red-eye turns, but I'm determined not to miss any of my runs. So I'll be chugging along the streets of DC at dawn this Friday morning. Honk if you see me! ♥

You go girl!!!! I hope you keep up with your running and I am so glad that you aren't having pain...that stopped me from training last time and I have walked ever since. But regardless of what the scale says, I hope this summer you can relax and enjoy part of the fun of vacation by enjoying treats with us when you want to(I resolve not to complain about how fattening they are while I eat!!!!!!) The last few years I have seen you, you have been super trim and I am sure that a few extra pounds wouldn't change your attractiveness a bit...just add to the curves, I am sure!!!!! I am so excited for us all to be together and enjoy movies, baking, crafts, hiking, water play, and enjoy seeing the cousins have such fun together. It seems like every year they get along better and better. I hope to go to the temple often because it just gets more and more expensive to do it out here. Anyway, sorry to write such an epistle in the comment section!
Much love and encouragement,
Michelle
Awesome family pic of your latest trip. Love the blue stars.
Keep up that running routine of yours and you can come run the Great Aloha Run with me Feb 16th 2009! Bring the kiddos along if you can! Like the idea? OK, great. See you in Feb.
that's really great, way to go!!
J, you're my hero. I am so excited to hear you are still running. There may be hope for me yet. I'm still stuck at the buying the shoes part. Let's get together this week! I'm also itching to read a really good book. Which do you recommend the most.Let's talk soon!
