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.

Well, since I was almost in pain staying inside on such a beautiful day, I grabbed my first excuse to go outside. I had a sick baby home from church who was miserable and bored in the house, until we went OUTSIDE. I pushed her in the stroller for a mile (walking). She enjoyed the birds and trees and wasn't so sure about the at-times strong wind. She didn't like the stray sprinkler drops blowing on her, for sure. Later, in the early evening, her 3yo sister was home & bored with us, too. I took them both out for a ride in the double stroller (walking). It was a little too warm & bright, so we weren't out as long, but it was nice for them & me to get out & see a little nature & have some fresh air. The second walk was about 2/3mi. We said, "Hi!" to all the neighbors we saw.

HOW many extra miles does it count for to push strollers, again? :)

Yea for strollers! It HAS been beautiful, hasn't it? You should see it at 5:40 am--cool and lovely. The only bad thing is that all the palo verde trees are blooming their heads off and Sam's allergies are going crazy.
