On a Personal Note – Tooting my own horn!!

I’ll be posting photos from Saturday’s wedding soon, but in the meantime, I just had to share this with you.

This morning I ran just over 3 kilometers!!? I know it doesn’t sound like much – but for me this is huge!? And let me tell you, if I can run, ANYONE can run!! Last September I would have told you, I can’t run – I hate to run – I don’t run.? Even as a kid I always hated playing soccer because I was such a poor runner.?? This past fall I was starting to seriously entertain the idea of getting into shape – my kids are all in school 2 to 3 days a week, and I figured it was time to start taking care of myself a little bit better.?? This past October I was extremely busy with weddings and needed something to help with the stress of everything – I had a 10 day stretch where I shot 4 weddings.? That exact week I found out that my best girl friend had started running.? I’ve know Aimee since practically forever, and let’s just say that neither of us has particularily excelled in the sporting department…. we can out sing you, but out run you, not a chance ….. until now.? Aimee you have inspired me to push myself beyond anything I could have imagined!? Thanks so much!?? I started in October with the goal or running 2 km – exactly the distance to the nearest stop sign and back – I honestly thought I’d never be able to run that far.? It was tough going for the first month or so but I’m so glad I stuck with it.? In January I gave up on trying to find my own indoor places to run and joined the local fitness club.? This morning on the treadmill I almost giggled outloud when I reached the 2 mile mark…. not 2km…..? I never thought I’d get this far, and now I can’t wait to see how much farther I can go!
