Run

When Scotty joined the Army and left for basic, I decided to take up running for the first time in my life, and it turned into what sanity. Running was my end of the day stress relief. I would throw Blain in the stroller and run. I would run until I was tired, until my stress was gone, or until I had no were else to run.

After we were stationed I ran because I had nothing else to do. during the day it was just Blaine and me. So we would walk to gym, because Scotty had the car, he would go to the play room and I would run.

Then came our blessed news, we were having another baby boy. So here I am again starting all over and beging to run. Why? Well for the same reason most women go to the gym after having a baby, to lose the baby weight. Because I want to be healthy and attractive for my husband, to teach my children the importance of being healthy. But really I would love to run a 5K.

I want to run a 5k, just because I can. It sounds silly and stupid, but I have never been in good enough shape to do something like that. So here I am. I ran/walk yesterday and went 2 miles, to day I went 4 and I feel like someone should remove my legs, but tomorrow I am going back and I am going to do this. My long term goal is to run a marathon. I will keep you all posted. Wish me luck
