Run Forest Run!.....
Today is my 2nd day getting up at 5:00 in the morning to run/walk....or rather walk/jog. If you know me then you know how much I hate running. Hate may seem like a strong word but seriously....if I had to run to save my life, well lets just say that I would probably end up meeting my maker pretty quickly. Even when I was thin and in better shape, I felt like a drunk elephant whenever I ran. My body is just not built for it. However, I decided that I was going to attempt it again because it does help me lose weight quickly. Keeping in mind that I havent run a step since, Oh.....about 1996, then you can understand how miserable this must feel to me. Right now I obviously cant run for very long at all. But, I walk for the long sides of the block and run on the short sides. Eventually I hope to be able to run the entire block.....but lets not get ahead of ourselves! Baby steps.....

You won't regret it...I hate running too, but with kids and budgets it is the most reasonable type of excercise. Keep after it!
Oh I can relate!!! When I drove in your neighborhood,, I thought how fun it would be to walk and exercise in! So pretty! You inspired me to get up and do something too!! Let's check in with each other ok?
Glad you got your identity back! How's work going?? I don't know if you have hills or slopes in your neighborhood but what I do when I'm starting our or even after that is I walk up the hills and run down them. Good-Luck!
