Ready to Run

I have never really been a runner. I used to be a pretty avid tennis player back in my day. But that kind of running is different. It's a lot more exciting and you get to rest in between points. :) But I have a friend who is wanting me to train for a marathon with her, and I have gotten really into it the past couple weeks. And you know what? It's actually been pretty good! I have had to do it on a treadmill since Idaho weather is not reliable at all. But once it gets a little better, I will be able to run outside. I have averaged about 15 miles a week so far, but that should grow as time goes on. I think one of the main reasons I have been able to do so well is cause I go in the mornings when VH1 is playing their Top 20 Music Videos! I can just turn that on and go for miles.....(obviously :). I have a few favorite videos that come on that gives me a huge boost and causes me to go as fast as I can. These include "Jai Ho!" by The Pussycat Dolls, "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga, "Love Sex Magic" by Ciara and Justin Timberlake, "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears, and "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson. I don't know what happens when they come on, but I get so much energy, and I love it. :) Anyway, this has just been such a good thing in my life right now and it's making me feel so good each day, I am sleeping better, and of course it's helping me to reach my goal weight faster! As far as that goes, I haven't updated you guys in a while about that. On my trip to California I gained back 4 pounds, but since then, I have lost those 4 pounds again, plus another 3! Yay! Thank you everyone who has been my support though this! I couldn't do it without you! You keep me going!
Stanley: Oh yes I will work out today. I work out a way to avoid running for a stupid cause.

Good for you! I have been running too, but I only average about 12 miles a week. I am hoping that if I run, the weight will come off with out too much effort in the food department. We'll see...
