Haven't Blogged in FOREVER

OK, I have been feeling a bit guilty for not blogging since March, but not too guilty. My sister-in-law asked me why I stopped the other day. I think the main reason was that I had been talking about running and how one day I would like to run a marathon. Then not long after that I quit exercising and I was definitely not running. Just because you own a treadmill doesn't mean you will use it.

Then in July I had two friends invite me to go running with them. I have had the blessing of running consistently since then. I am super excited to share that I will be running in my first half marathon on November 20th. It is not a full marathon, but not bad if you ask me. So I figured I could blog again without shame.:) Maybe I will post some sweaty pictures after the run. I am very thankful for my consistent and ever encouraging running partner, Sherri. Without her I would be walking or most likely sitting on the couch.

So be encouraged it is never too late to start getting in shape. The most I had ever run in my life was maybe one or two miles in high school. I have also joined a team to run Hood to Coast this summer. I am trying to challenge myself with goals that will give me accountability and a reason to get in shape. My motto is slow and steady, but I do hope to get faster one day.
