Running it off

Since preschool ended back in May, I have not found a good time to exercise. Alas, I am not an early morning person. I have also been working more on the computer for the business, and somehow consume large amounts of sugary snacks while sitting sedentary in front of that darn screen... and now why, I ask myself, do none of my pants fit so well anymore? I think my kids stole my magic metabolism, and after a nice run tonight...
the race is on!

There are several 5K (3.1 miles) races in Utah, and there are a couple that I could do in October, so now that I have donned my trusty running shoes, it's time to start pounding pavement more often. Now, I have several marathonning cousins, and I am definitely not up to that kind of run. But I believe that anyone can do a 5K race (especially if I, with my chicken legs, can do it), even if it's just running slowly, which I do. So, anyone else up for a race?

I would love to join you... but I'm not going to. Scott takes up all my running energy. He's even training now for the Top of Utah Marathon in Logan. After that, he says he's just sticking with triathons... hmmm. I guess some families just "got it" and I happened to marry into one of those! Good luck on all your fabulous 5ks!

I wish I could run it with you. :( I am excited for you to start training again. It feels so good to be so in shape. Happy running!

Thanks for the link to your blog, I will forward you ours. I am just starting to pull out my jogging shoes, baby #4 added 50 pounds to my poor body. We are not too close, but I would love some motivation.--Melissa Bremser
