So Nat and I have decided to be "runners". I have this love hate relationship with running...I can get on the treadmill and run/walk for an hour and leave feeling like I am fresh out of a therapy session. I think it is my quiet time and I talk in my head..a lot. But if you put me out on the street I want to die after about 6 minutes. I am not kidding! My throat starts hurting, I feel like a 3 legged dog running for my life or something. Anyways...last time we decided we wanted to be "runners" I gave up halfway thru the neighborhood. It was hot,humid and it was raining. Oh and when I say I gave up halfway thru the neighborhood...it was like 2 blocks away!!

So the time came yesterday and I made excuse after excuse why I couldn't go. Homework,bath time, dishes (I hate dishes) mop the floors and so on. Nat got all stern on me told me to stop whining like a baby and change clothes. UGH. So I did...and out the door we went....then it started raining! UHHHH again! I ran and I ran like a 3 legged sideways dog and I did pretty good. We had a goal of starting off 15 minutes and we are going to keep moving up until we hit 60 minutes eventually. Good Luck with that! We went 1.56 miles in 13 minutes and I was pretty damn proud!

Today however I woke up at 4:30 a.m to talk to my hubs while he gets ready(yes I actually do this and love it) and I swear to god I am already thinking of excuses. My freaking legs and hips are so sore I want to crawl under the couch and hide until she gives up looking for me! But I know I can do this...I think.

We took a picture of our body last night and in 30 days we are taking another. I am just curious to see if you can visibly see a change after 30 days. So hopefully I can make it without dying! I have NEVER been the athletic type! We shall see.

I really want this shirt...but I think I will wait until I hit my 30 day mark!
