My little sister Taryn is training for the Logan marathon in September. She has been motivating me to get out and run even when I don't feel like it. We have been running four days a week since the first of the year - through the snow and cold weather and now the warmer temperatures. When I first started, I could barely run for five minutes without passing out in the gutter of the road. Seriously - I probably hadn't run like that since high school. It was so bad - I couldn't believe how out of shape I was. Week after week I gradually worked up and now surprise, surprise I can run for 30 minutes without stopping. Granted, it's not record -breaking speed or anything, but at least I'm moving! We go when Makele is in school. Jack has become my little running buddy - one day a couple of weeks ago he even started stretching with me. Taryn grabbed the camera and took this hilarious shot:
He's usually pretty good when we are running - he loves to see all the dogs along the way. Each time we pass a dog he says, "I wanna see another puppy, Mommy." I've learned to give him a sucker before we leave - it keeps him occupied and not jabbering to me the whole time. It's pretty hard to talk to him when I can barely breathe!
