A New Found Love

Running...something I once hated that I love now. I crave time to run. I love running. When I first started losing weight unexpectedly as a result of some health issues, I began working out. I decided that I would not be a weakling. I ran maybe half a mile or so on the treadmill. My sister challenged me to do a 5K. So, once I got the okay from my surgeon in February, I started running. I love it! I'm not interested in competing. I compete against me-for the sake of my health. When I feel crummy, running makes me feel better. The best part of it, it's something I can do with my kids. Ashleigh has gone on runs with me, and so has Jay-R (although he likes to do sprinting competitions with a little cheating on his part...lol!). I'm excited because I just registered for my first 5K at our local zoo. Jay-R is way excited because he's signed up for the Kids' 1K. It's next weekend already! Ashleigh has other commitments, but she plans to join me for a 5K later this summer. I will post pictures. Can't wait!
