It's that time again! The weather is gradually beginning to get better, and with it comes that antsy feeling of wanting to be outside. Around this time of year I find myself thinking about outdoor activities more and more...until finally the day arrives when I manage to somehow pry myself out off of the couch and begin to do some kind of activity. For the last couple of years, Brad and I have found that jogging is something we can do together for fun...well, I say "fun", because I find that the
idea of running is fun, but when I am gasping for breath and feeling the burn, it is not always what I had dreamed it was! Last year I did get to the point where a couple of times it actually felt good, and that brief glimpse propels me on again! Actually, I'm probably spurred on more by the fact that I have done a LOT of sitting thes
e last few months and am feeling quite out of shape. I hope to train to do a 5k again and to beat my time from two years ago (which was embarassingly long but at least I finished the race and didn't die!). My old running shoes have finally come to the end of their life, and this season began with an exciting trip to the store to purchase some new, much more girly, running shoes. Running and pink shoes...who'd have guessed? Anyway, this week I took my first steps towards my goal, and it was easier than last year! I am looking forward to getting in shape and putting some miles on these new shoes!
