And then you blink!

I knew that it had been a while, but geez.  February?  Sad thing is, I'm on the computer.  A lot.  Wouldn't kill me to swing by once in a while:)  

So.  No longer doing the Shred.  I have moved on..literally.   Back in January I had gotten clearance from my doctor to give the world of running a try.  Problem is, in Minnesota a nice day for a run is a toss-up.  Plus, it's too easy to say "It's hot out".  Or my most often used excuse, "I can't leave the kids".  Which is true.  When Tay is gone, I don't have anyone to watch the wee ones.  So I'd occasionally run up and down our driveway for 30 minutes.  Then....we got a treadmill.

Now most husbands do the whole "Oh hell no!" when they wife requests a treadmill.  They figure they are walking into a trap.  They surprise the wife with a treadmill, she thinks he's calling her fat, and he winds up on the couch.  I assured my husband that wouldn't happen.  We wound up winning one on a local on-line auction site.  My mom and I drove the couple hours to pick it up and since then (July 16th), I have no more excuses.  Whether it's a quick run for some speed or a lengthy run to clear my head, I get something done on there.  And I like it:)
