Runnin runnin runnin!

A month ago, my sister mentioned that she wants to run a half-marathon with me this thanksgiving when we are both going to be home.  I got so excited that she wants to do this with me, so I decided to start running again, now, so when my trianing begins, I will be able to work on speed as well as endurance.  We bought a double joggera few weeks ago.  The first run was killer.  I honestly think I thought I would die.  I took what felt like a thousand breaks, it took me forever, and I was so sore by the end of the day!  Pushing to kiddos while running is H-A-R-D!!!!! 

After a few weeks, and finding some sweet running trails here I have grately improved.  My endurance level has improved in all aspects of my life- I went biking the other day and it was a piece of cake.  I LOVED it!  Jumping rope is easier, as well as plyometrics.  Who knew running could do that to you?  Ya dude for exercise!

I'm working on some new goals, like losing body fat and gaining muscle at the same time.  I'll let you know how it goes.  My weight is at a stand still.  I would like to blame it on my nursing the baby girl, but honestly my body has always been very comfortable around this weight, so we will see what happens.  I'd like to lose the fat more than anything, so I'm doing a lot of research on how to change my diet to foster losing fat while building tons of muscle, so we will see what I come up with.

Anywho, running is great, exercise is great.  life is great!
