Ok, this should make anyone feel better that might be starting or trying to keep up with an exercise program. I am currently beginning a running routine. I would love to be able to say I was inspired to do this for my health. However, I believe, it was something at a neighbor's party that Cathy and Karla were talking about doing (they have ran marathons in the past). Cathy moved off to Colorado and this is a "girls' weekend" trip to see her in October. In the past, my "girls' weekends" have consisted of a beach if I am lucky, shopping and lots of eating good food. Never has exercise on a trip away entered my mind I must admit. I think a couple of times I might have taken running shoes thinking I would make it on a treadmill in a hotel but never quite made it there. In my defense, I had probably walked three miles at the malls at least daily however.
So tonight my three boys decided at dinner that they wanted to run with me (secretly, I think to laugh at me) so I went out and ran another mile with them (I had already ran for the evening about an hour and a half before this). Their legs are so much longer than mine!!! Garrett was like a 90-year old mall walker. hahaha He was just strolling while I was huffing and puffing. But I kept up and at the end, they all gave me high five and said I was "doing good" and they were "surprised I ran the whole way". At least I could run further than Jacob, he biked it. hahaha oh, to be young again......
