I don’t really have anything exciting to blog about today, but my friend Sarah is doing a giveaway on her blog. So I wanted all 5 of you that read my blog to hop on over to hers!
Now that I’m trying to be healthy and exercise and all that nonsense, I’m not sure how I feel about fall and this cooler weather. I used to get up around 7am and go for a run or walk before the kids were up, so I could get it out of the way and be done with it for the day. Now that it is freaking cold and dark at 7am, I have to push it back till at least 10am. Which is not really good, because that gives me more time to talk myself out of it. I’ve been running for about 4 months now, and I still don’t really like it. It still just about kills me every time. So why do I do it? Because walking alone wasn’t getting my heart rate up very much anymore, and I wanted something that pushed me a little bit more, and because it works! I’ve lost almost 20 pounds since I started, I’m in much better shape, I have better lung capacity, and I just feel better. That said, I still hate running. I still get butterflies in anticipation because I don’t want to do it. At least when I’m done, I’m glad I went and that I bucked up and did it.
