It's been a while since I've last exercised. Sure, I chase two little boys all day long and go for nice walks occasionally, but I haven't done anything to really get me moving in several months. I've been thinking about running a lot lately. It's not really something I enjoy, but I loved the way I felt last spring when I went often. So I decided it was time to start that up again. Not so easy since I HATE HATE HATE the cold!!! We don't have to room (or finances...) to buy a treadmill, but thankfully my parents have one and they live close by! I finally forced myself to take advantage of it! I took the boys over there for lunch, then let them nap there. T does fine with that, but L struggles sleeping anywhere other than his crib. He's like his daddy and needs his routine. Anyway, after spending a long, long time trying to get the stinker down, he finally fell asleep. That gave me enough time to walk for 5 minutes, run for 25, and then walk for another 5 minutes at the end before T woke up. My goal was to run for 30, but I just couldn't do the last 5 minutes. It's ok, though. I'm still really proud of myself for running that long without stopping. Especially since it's been so long. My goal is to do that often. I'm guessing my mom will start charging me for child care ;) but at least I will feel better...and hopefully lose some of this pudge going on in my tummy.
Another exciting thing that happened today related to my goals for the year: I finished putting my home binder together! Took some of the pages to get laminated and it's all set for tomorrow. Yay!
