Running Again

Those of you who have been around for a while know that I have tried a few times in the past to become healthier.  This time just seems different.  I'm not quite sure why, but it does.  And so I'm going with it!  But I thought it would be helpful to document why I'm making these changes so that when things start to get really tough, I can find renewed motivation.

... because I totally feel it
... because I need a hobby
... because I want to be a runner
... because Rudy loves to run with me
... because I want to challenge myself
... because I want to show myself that I can
... because I want to enjoy shopping for clothes
... because my butt is much bigger than it should be
... because I want to get addicted to that runner's high
... because I need a healthy way to deal with life's stress
... because I love to have some time to look at the clouds
... because I want to be excited to go to the beach this summer
... because I'm running my first 5k very soon with awesome friends
... because I want to take cute tummy pictures if I'm ever pregnant*
... because the doctor cleared me after being sick for almost a month
... because I'm participating in 1000 miles for 100 smiles- you should too!

*First we need to decide that we want to get pregnant. And that definitely isn't an easy decision. Then we need to actually try to get pregnant.  And then we need it to actually happen!  So don't get too excited about upcoming tummy pictures.
