So lately I have been wanting to get in better shape. I have been doing okay with eating less and healthy but it's hard. What I have realized that I really enjoy is running. Who would have thought? I am just trying to keep away from the gym. I want to do enjoyable exercise, not TORTURE which is a synonym for gym to me. Daniel and I have bikes so we like to go on rides after dinner when the California sun isn't so hot. We also love taking our puppy/baby, Tater on walks. Last night I tortured both Daniel and Tater on a four mile walk around the base. I had lots of fun on the walk but Daniel and Tater (mostly Tater) was pooped when we got home.
But running, awe running... That has become a hobby of mine. I have gone from not running for years to running about a mile without stopping so much in just a couple of weeks. I make sure that I don't overdo it. I mix it up with the biking and walking throughout the week. I bought new really nice running shoes which always gives me motivation! I just hope I can keep up with it.
My sister, Devonne, is really my motivation though. She has started running in races. She started with a mile race during Whaling Days a month or so ago. She got the fastest time in her age category on her first race! Then just this last weekend she was in her first 5K through the Blackberry Festival and got an amazing 31.07! I am so proud of her! I don't know if I am going to get to that point but at this time, I am just enjoy the running. :o)
