Ok, I know that I have been a major slacker this past month:( Sorry- life has been busy. I promise to post pics soon- I have been keeping busy with photoshoots, MOPS, Bible study, volunteering in K*'s classroom, our 2nd annual pajama party sleepover, the St. Patty's day parade, hosting Easter dinner with friends, and training for the mini-marathon.
Well, I really just started my training and after today I am very proud of myself! So up til now I had been walking a 1/4 mile, running 1 mile, walking a 1/4, running 1 mile, and then walking for another 1/2 mile......let's just say that this wasn't an easy task- I am definitely out of shape! So onto the good news- today I decided to start out walking a tenth of mile and then going into my run......as I approached completely my first mile I decided that I would see if I could make it 1.5 miles before walking.....then as I approached that goal I upped it to 2 miles.....so by the time I had consecutively ran 2 and 3/4 miles I upped my speed and completed a total of 3 miles followed up with an additional 1/4 mile walk to cool down! Can you believe it? I ran 3 miles without stopping?! I honestly think that I could have gone farther but the gym's childcare closes at 1pm so I had to stop to get C*! Anyway, I know it probably isn't as interesting to the rest of you but I really feel good about exceeding my goals today- it gives me a little hope that maybe I CAN finish the 13 mile mini this May!

I just checked your blog and was thinking that if you hadn't posted anything new then I would have to give you a hard time. I guess you beat me to it. Can't wait to see pictures from the holidays.
I am so very proud of you! I have also been wanting to try running and before I got sick the beginning of March was making a little progress. (not nearly as much as you) Unfortunately, I am starting over. However, I find my Zumba classes every Wednesday very fun and stress relieving. Keep up the good work!
thanks girls! i really feel good about myself- i really have a hard time motivating myself and was excited that not only did i push myself but i exceeded my expectations!
