I am back

It has been a long road, but I am back. With all that was going on in my life, moving, adjusting to two kids, etc., I just never made it to this blog. On top of that, my motivation for exercising and such kind of fell by the wayside. But I am back. I have now exercised two days in a row. For me that is great. I hope to continue this trend. I use to get up and hurry and get ready for the day before Bella woke up. Trying to exercise and get ready before she needed to be fed was not working. So I finally gave that up. Now I get up and either exercise or feed Bella and then get ready some time. I know this may not be a huge thing for other people, but for me it is. I am a very routine person and to break that routine is difficult for me. I just have to go with the flow of the day a little more and get it done sometime.
The weather here as been beautiful this week, so this morning I decided to go for a run. And yes I said run. I went about 1 1/2 miles and ran at least a mile of that. I am very proud of myself. I got the girls ready, put them in the stroller and off we went. I even had Savannah cheering my on so that I would keep going. I am tired, but I feel great. I have a lot of cousins who are big time runners. Next summer they are getting together family teams to run the Wasatch Back relay race. I would love to run with them, but I don't think that will happen this time. It did inspire me to start running and then maybe next time I will be ready.
