This morning I'm taking the kids running at the park. We will take ten minute turns with the baby while the others run. I will be just running around the park, so I will be close. After the kids finish their two miles they can play on the jungle gym while I keep going. I'm only running for 45 minutes; that's about a 5K for me right now.
Jaremy is doing awesome at his running. He is trying to get the rest of us on board. When we run as a family and have running goals together amazing things happen. Family unity increases, we stay motivated, we make tons of great memories, and running becomes super fun! So I will plan some fun 5Ks and a few 10Ks. In Logan we did ice cream runs, free community runs, barefoot, mud runs, trail runs, runs in different places, etc. It was stinking awesome!!! So I will get on it!
My big goal for the rest of the year is to give Jaremy an amazing birthday present. Okay, I'm being selfish, because it will be wonderful for me too. I will be down to 115 pounds, have a firm, flat tummy, and defined legs that are able to run a half marathon. I will run that half marathon the week before his birthday, December 29th. So I will run it on the 22nd. We will get away for the night for his birthday! This goal will help me improve my health, endurance, intimacy, and confidence. I'm determined and excited!!! Of course, true character is developed when you keep your goals when the excitement of setting them is long gone. I will!!!
I'm so grateful Heavenly Father has given us these miraculous bodies and the enjoyment they provide!
