Running Just As Fast As I Can....

This is DAY FOUR of my attempt at running. I have no long-term goals just yet- my only goal right now is to be out running/walking for 15 min per day, 6 times a week. I know its not a lofty goal, but it is realistic for me right now. I started with 5min of walking, 5min of running, 5min of walking on Monday. Today I ran for 7min in the middle of walking. I even did it with out my new stylish IPOD NANO that Brett won for me last month :)

I checked out two books about "Running for Women" at the library yesterday. I"m hoping to get a better long-term goal set up after reading those. I don't know how hard or how fast to push myself, and I definitely don't want to end up hurt or burnt out. I never pictured myself as a runner, but life is full of twists and turns, and this is what I feel called to do right now- don't know why.....

Life Happens

Which is why I haven't blogged in awhile. But as I'm laying here typing with one hand while nursing Elizabeth in my bed, I thought I'd write a note.

Poor Gavin is crashed in his bed- the girls are in bed but not yet asleep. They're still settling down from a double-play date. They're laying in their beds whispering to each other. Its so hard because I want to yell at them to quit talking and go to sleep, but this is the one time of the day when they whisper and tell each other secrets and grow that sister bond. So, I'll let them whisper a little longer before hushing them to sleep.

I'm laying here watching our newest acquisition from our biggest indulgence- Blockbuster.com. The movie being South Pacific. I love this movie. I love the songs. I love the drama. I love the cheesiness. I love the sincerity. I love the way they change the colors of the scenes for the moods. Rent it sometime.
