Something New

I almost look like a  professional.  But don't let the spandex fool you, I'm a beginner.

I have a really good friend who is always pushing me to be better than I am.  Since we became friends, I began baking bread, not being scared to try a new recipe, painting furniture and I started running in the morning (yes people, I said morning...like before my kids are awake).

Just a few weeks ago, I thought I'd puke after I ran a mile.  Now I'm running my first 5K on Saturday (I figure I better get my first one in, the day before I turn 30!).  To you runners, that may not be a big deal, but to me...it's huge!

You know the quote on the side of my blog? "The first time I see a jogger smiling I'll consider it." 

I was running early morning last Saturday, and the sun started to come up over the mountain, my favorite song came on, and I started to run downhill...and I got a huge grin on my face. 

 See what happens when you try something new??
