Running Accomplishments:

'Just started! -Again!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Increase my energy levels so that I can keep up with my demanding jobs (Mother of Five, Wife of Father of Five, Chef, Housekeeper, Uncertified Phone Counselor, to name a few:). Strengthen my heart and improve my circulation. Grow some muscles! (It's about time!) Run four miles at once... sometime in the next 2 yrs, anyway. :)

Long-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to still have the strength and energy to do things when I'm old. I'd also like to stay in one peice until then!

Personal:

I have been married almost 9 years to Practically-Perfect Jeremy. We have five dear children 7yo and under. I rollerbladed as a teenager. For 18 mo, I walked a few times a week until about a year ago. I tried running w/ wonderful running partner last year, but that tapered off. We had a hard time matching schedules and I wasn't committed enough to do it alone. After an inspiring meeting with Sasha and Sarah, I am recommitted to regular exercise. I may run, or I may fast-walk. The point is to get MOVING, again. Please bear with my pitiful mileage. Supermommy runs all day, and doing that properly is my #1 priority.

I ran w/ Paige around our neighborhood. I was really excited that despite my slow pace, I was able to run almost a mile continually w/out dragging feet. Unfortunately, I usually have to stop before that point, lately. I'm not sure if not having dairy this week helped (I'm allergic), or the weather, or if I'm actually getting a little better. :) Whichever, I'll take it. Paige had a big dinner and for once wasn't dragging me behind her (not literally, of course;).

Apparently my sitting here is causing my baby real physical anguish, so I had better wrap up.

Cool runnings, everyone!

I am pretty new at this running stuff as well. I have 7 kids so I know it can be hard to fit in the workouts. I am not much for advise but I know how hard it can be with all the kids. So good luck with your goals.

Holly-have you been doing some walking or running and not been posting them? I find after getting out of shape that it takes a solid three weeks of 6 times a day getting out and getting a jog to get back into it. I feel pretty yucky getting back into it, but after three weeks the exercise is golden. Hope you are getting out there!

Hey Holly, haven't heard from you in awhile...hope all is well.
