If you would of asked me a few years ago what I liked to do or was willing to do for exercise RUNNING would have never, ever made it close to coming out of my mouth. I have always liked exercising and getting all sweaty but never running. Exercising helps me in so many ways and I know I am a better model.. I mean Mom, friend, and wife when I am doing it. In training for my up coming half and wondering just how I got myself here AGAIN I wonder to myself "Why in the world did you start running in the first place?" Yes I live in EM and there is no gym in sight but is that really why? So looking through past posts I discovered these comments that no doubt led me to where I am now.
"GO you. I know about those extra LB's and am also trying to get rid of them with a little diet and exercise. I have been walking/running with Amy Hampton at 8:00 most nights. We go for 1 hour. IF you want to come let me know."- Jami; March 17, 2008 3:42 PM
"Okay - so when do you want to go running with me?" Ashley ;March 19, 2008 9:20 PM
"The two half marathons that I know of are in August in Provo and Logan. I think I just may regret this whole idea....." Me; April 4, 2008 9:27 AM
"k, we are totally doing it. I am sure it is going to kill us but we can do it. I am ready to start training!!!!!!!!!" - Jami; April 7, 2008 9:07 AM
"It is official we registered for the 1/2 marathon in Hobble Creek this August." Me; May 1, 2008 10:32 AM
"We made it under our goal time in 2 hrs and 15 min. Just over a 10 minute mile!! YEAH" Me; August 25, 2008 9:07 AM
And just where am I "NOW" you may be asking? Well honestly about 20 lbs heavier and more intimidated then ever about actually being able to finish this dang race again. :)But alas this is something that started about 2 years ago and NOT about to end anytime soon!! BRING IT ON HOBBLE CREEK

K, you have to add in there that you've had a baby inbetween to help you out with the 20 lbs. I can't believe you and Jami have been running together since 2008. Wish I had a fun running partner. I'll bet when you guys can breath, you have lots of fun talks! :)
You are doing great.
You go girl!!! I wish I was running a half!
wow we really started this in 2008! I totally loved your post. It brings back lots of memories some of which I would rather forget! We can do it again and then sign up again next yr!I couldn't have asked for a better partner!
