Our Latest Goal

I've always hated running. No, its not really hate. Its more if you make me run I want to hurt you. One of those things I had to ignore growing up in sports. I mean, if you say you aren't going to run then they make you run even more! The only time I said I wouldn't run and I was able to was in PE in middle school. I always thought it was funny because here I was skin and bones, doing hours upon hours of volleyball after school, and they always gave me a C because I didn't "try." Sorry, I have more important things to do.

Anyway! I'm a pretty good Facebook stalker. I read other people's blogs because I LOVE to know all about anyone. I could sit and ask questions for hours because I really want to know everything about you. SO I was reading someone's blog, looking at pictures and there were some of running. Hmmm. That got me thinking. I've always wanted to run a 5K. What would it be like to run a marathon? That in itself is a crazy idea but why not? God has blessed me so much, He can preform this miracle!

Haha. So I was looking online on How To websites about how to run a 5K. The website was showing me a program based on the assumption I could already run 1.5 miles. Uhhhh...not exactly. So I looked up the basics of running and there was an 8 week program. I decided that I was going to do it! ME! Yeah, me. I told Taylor about it and after he picked his jaw off the ground (yeah I hate running that much) he said he would do it with me! Score! Mucho awesome husband.

After dinner was over and we watched another episode of 24 on DVD, (love that!) put on our running shoes, and headed out the door. Now of course it starts you off slow, but I'm sure once we get going more and more it will get better. I really enjoy exercising with Taylor. It puts us in a good mood and its good for us. Being married added a few(many) big LBs! But we've been really good about food lately and we're away from all the delicious cooking all of our parents do. Sad, but not so bad when we want to be healthier. Actually I shouldn't say they cook unhealthy either. My mother is Queen of health. But when I eat so much... it catches up.

So there's our latest thing that we're on. I really like how much Ann Arbor is into health. Really, there are so many people outside walking and running and riding their bikes, it makes you look at your gut and say....hm. No more pizza. Haha, I'm sure we'll have pizza again. But who wants to eat so unhealthy after burning so many calories?
