Many of you knew me when I was a lean, mean running machine. I had my picture in the newspaper several times and was even nominated "Most Athletic" in high school. But now in my early 30's and 4 kids later I definitely DO NOT fall into that category. I feel a bit frumpy!
Last summer, I started my trek back to the fitness world. What a long slow trek it has been. But I convinced my friend Heather (who just had a baby, teaches 6 classes at the gym, and is training with me) to run a half marathon with me.
What a great experience it has been. We have run a few races to get us motivated for our big race (which is at the end of August). I'm definitely not at the same level I was 10 years ago, but I am continuing to make progress.
We ran the Deseret News 10k last week. Annie came with us and stayed with my mom during the race. She was the official cheerleader! It was so fun to have her come and cheer - it reminded me of when I used to watch my mom run.
You will never be frumpy, my dear. I know you'll get right back into your running rhythm soon.
