I started running again. I've said that about once a year since I was in High School.
I hate starting to run.
But I quit when winter comes and then start again in the spring. Except this year. I started in February, stopped in June and am starting again in August.
This time I'm determined to not stop. Im going to just keep on running through the winter. Maybe. It gets really cold here in Boise.
But anyway. I go about 30 minutes, getting in about 2 1/2 miles. Really slow.  Like really, really slow. But I do it.
You should do it with me. We can meet somewhere in the middle and run a race together.
Anyone up for running a race with someone who will complain the whole time and sweats buckets? Oh, but I am determined and will not stop until I'm on the very verge of fainting. And when I'm done, there is no one happier than me.  
Anyone? Anyone?

Since my posts feel empty when I don't have a picture, I'm adding this. Cause I love it:

My "on-again, off-again" running partner.

I will run a race with you! We can meet in the middle and make it a northern Utah one. I am out for a few more months and then I will be good to go. 3 weeks till this baby comes and then I am on the road to recovery!! Keep on running......

I'd run with you if I wasn't 3000 miles away. I've been an off again, on again runner, but am also determined to stick to it this time. I started in June with a small group of girls from church, which Makes it much more bearable. I plan on running a 10k next month. We could run that together;)

Two and a half miles in half an hour may seem slow to you; but for some of us....

I'm still running. Actually, we are having our first ever sisters' weekend for the Women's Fitness Celebration in September. No matter how long it takes you to jog/run a distance it's always harder work than walking for some reason. My next big goal is making it to 10K, but I am such a nerd because I think I need arch supports to accomplish that goal, keep getting pain when I try to train up.

I've been not so great at running lately & keep telling myself I need to do better. I was kinda, sorta training for a 1/2 marathon but then I messed up my ankle & never started back up. Today I was going to start again...but instead I'm checking blogs. Maybe tomorrow...

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
