I ran today! I actually went outside and ran! I am so excited!
When I tell peopel I haven't ran in a while, they usually look at me funny and insist "You ran a marathon!" But that was, um, over 4 months ago. Also, I honestly could have walked it in less time than it took me to run. That being said, I got a bit frustrated that I have become so non-athletic. So, I decided to swallow my pride and whip out some old "beginner" videos: yoga, tae-bo, budokon. It's boring, but it has been very effective. I can lift my legs now. I feel like a marionette!
Today I left the house with the beagle and headed for the 1 hour loop around my neighborhood. Sure, even the parts I ran, the 13 inch beagle with her 4 inch legs was still walking. That part could be considered embarrassing. But it's a start. That is what matters. Everyone needs to start over again sometimes. Oh- and I knocked 5 minutes off of my loop-around-the-neighborhood time!

You go girl. You know you love running. But sometimes it is so hard to get out the door. We moms have so much going on. It is crazy!
I DO love running! ...just not that first mile...Thanks for the reminder :-)
I hear we are going back down into the 40s by end of week, maybe even snow, but I think will be the last hurrah of winter. (famous last words...)
Sounds like you just summoned the blizzard gods of April!
