Dusting off the cobwebs!

Five months without a post and this blog had cobwebs all over. Last August I ran in a 5k race at my school and unfortunately never ran again until July4th (well, once over Christmas to do that crazy idea of having the family run a marathon). Dad and I decided the night before at about 10pm that we were going to do the 4th of July 5k. We had talked about it on and off for a couple months but never signed up and never knew for sure if we were going to do it so I didn't do anything to prepare. It took me 27:00 minutes! Jordan found out and said this, "I"m kind of surprised you didn't do better." I'm glad he said it because it was that comment that has motivated me to run 10 miles a week ever since. I think I've ran about 100 miles since the 4th of July and just ran in another 5k yesterday. I broke my previous PR by 15 seconds (which was done on a treadmill....much easier) and had plenty of energy left over. I'm signed up for another 5k in 4 weeks and will be pretty disappointed if I'm not under 24min.

So, if anyone is looking for motivation to get on the ball all you have to do is let Jordan know what you're currently doing and he'll make sure to let you know he's surprised you're not doing better!

Wow, time for an update people!

I figured since it has been like 6 months since anyone did anything, I would write something. I told Jeremy that the only thing I wanted ever, was a gym membership, to wherever we move. (CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR IOWA!) I think it would be fun to do different classes and such. I may be a freak, but I enjoy working out- the whole tired, adrenaline, sweating, can't walk for 2 days kind of feeling that comes from a nice butt whooping at the gym. Several of the places we are looking at moving to, would offer us free/discount passes to gyms, and I CAN'T WAIT!

I recently found a salad dressing that I LOVE! I actually don't mind eating a salad now if I can eat it with this dressing: Asian Toasted Sesame, from Kraft. I totally reccomend it.

I am still enjoying water aerobics, but can't wait to try another class, as I just found out that my punch card at this gym covers any of the classes.

I'm doing what I can...what is everyone else doing?
