Running

I've decided to become a runner. I want to be fit and healthy and of course lose the rest of the baby weight. And the America weight- the 10 pounds I put on when we moved back to America that I did not lose before getting pregnant last fall. I really desire to be healthy and strong but not crazy exercise fanatic. I have looked at all my options and I've decided I am going to become a runner. It fits my life right now. Its efficient and free. I can do it while the kids are awake. They can come with me! They can sleep in the stroller if they want (esp my double jogging stroller I'm getting for Christmas- shhhh don't tell). A gym is too expensive and at home work outs are either too hard that I don't stick with it or too easy that I don't get any results. So I will run.

This isn't the first time I've wanted to become a runner. My sister was an awesome cross country runner. The summer before our senior year of high school, LT & I decided we would just run with the cross country team in the mornings for a good work out. I mean my little sister could do it. I think we went twice. We were pathetic. This time I'm following the Couch-to-5K plan that my friend Kristen blogged about. I think taking it slow is key for me.

I was hesitant to post this because I hate putting myself out there. What if I quit? What if I can't do it? Everyone will know I failed. My sister will think I'm a wuss because I only jog for 60 seconds at a time right now. But... I decided to anyway. Here I go. Wish me luck!
