Running Accomplishments:

'Just started! -Again!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Increase my energy levels so that I can keep up with my demanding jobs (Mother of Five, Wife of Father of Five, Chef, Housekeeper, Uncertified Phone Counselor, to name a few:). Strengthen my heart and improve my circulation. Grow some muscles! (It's about time!) Run four miles at once... sometime in the next 2 yrs, anyway. :)

Long-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to still have the strength and energy to do things when I'm old. I'd also like to stay in one peice until then!

Personal:

I have been married almost 9 years to Practically-Perfect Jeremy. We have five dear children 7yo and under. I rollerbladed as a teenager. For 18 mo, I walked a few times a week until about a year ago. I tried running w/ wonderful running partner last year, but that tapered off. We had a hard time matching schedules and I wasn't committed enough to do it alone. After an inspiring meeting with Sasha and Sarah, I am recommitted to regular exercise. I may run, or I may fast-walk. The point is to get MOVING, again. Please bear with my pitiful mileage. Supermommy runs all day, and doing that properly is my #1 priority.

I walked tonight! I know... it's not running. 'But it's closer! My baby's weaning & it was easier for both of us if I stepped out of the house at bedtime tonight. She'll be two in June -- it's time.

Anyway, it was a beautiful evening. The sun had just set and it was cooler outside than in. We have bemoaned the increasing temperatures here in Mesa, so it was nice to revel in a cool April evening.

I walked around the whole neighborhood twice and definitely got my heart rate up. Since it was a last minute thing, I went alone. I tried to get my walking-friend neighbor to join me, but she wasn't home. As I left her empty home, it hit me how much will be missing when she moves away in a few months. I need to walk with her while I can, but that does scare me a little because then I'll miss her even more than I did tonight when she leaves.

'Which reminds me of how much I miss hanging out with Lybi. I guess that's one good thing about the heat -- sick children season should be OVER soon.

Welcome back!

Yea! You'd think you didn't just live 2 miles away. I was thinking about you today. I miss getting together with you too. I'm gonna call you.

Good job on your walk. Getting out the door for the first time is worth many commando points when you are just getting back into it.

Thank you, Sasha & Lybi. :) It felt great, and so does the support.

It looks like you guys are doing great running yourselves!
