I guess you could say that I've been running since I was in elementary school. I can remember my dad would go for a run and he would let me run with him for his first mile. I also remember running the one mile loop in our neighborhood with my best friend. I moved on to track in junior high, and track and cross country in high school. I always loved running, well as much as one can love that kind of torture. Now as a busy wife and mom, it has been very off and on, but I always come back. This blog is a place for me to keep track of my on and off running life.

- Treadmill
- 1 mile warm-up at 5.0
- 7 x 400 at 7.0 with 400 in between intervals at a 3.0 walk
- 1/2 mile cool down at 5.0
- 137.4 lbs.
As far as weight goes, I'm not sure how I ended up down at 137.4 this morning when yesterday morning I was up to 139.4. I have not been doing very well on my diet at all. It makes me realize how easy it is to slip back into my old habits. I know I need to eat healthier and make that a permanent lifestyle change, but I don't know that it will really ever happen. But, another challenge has been made. I have to put in $200 again. This time my goal is to get under 135 lbs. within 3 weeks. This challenge is what I need to do this. I need the motivation, and losing $200 is very very motivating!
I'd like to wish my weight loss buddies the best on this bet. We can do this together! Thanks for being such a great inspiration for me! Love ya!!

Running Tip #2
When you decide to cross to the other side of the road and you look back, don't start crossing as you look back. Look back FIRST and then if no one is coming start crossing. Because if you start to cross and look back and someone is coming, it will scare the bejeezus out of you and you will look like an idiot.
Running Tip #1
Put your hair back or it will blow in your face, get in your eyes, and in your mouth. Not fun.

This was my sixth weigh in day since restarting weight watchers. I am so happy to have lost 11.4 pounds in 5 weeks. Won't it be really embarrassing if I fall off the wagon again and start gaining weight back. You will know when I quit posting my weight!!
