Well, I've officially started running....again! This time I really want to stick with it though. My lower back is bugging me and I know that with exercise and stretching it will get better. So Trent, who does a better job at sticking to something than I am, and I are going to try to get in shape this fall and winter and run a 1/2 marathon again next spring. If all goes well, we may try a sprint triathlon next summer. It will be fun to do it together and hopefully we'll both reap some benefits from exercising...aka losing my last 10-15 pounds of baby weight. Yes, I know she's 2 and he's 6, but I still have weight on from both of my last 2 pregnancies....about 6 from Aleah and then another 9 from Evan!! Grrrr. Anyway, so today was day #3 of running. Oh, I really had to talk myself out of bed this morning, but I did it and now I'm done for the day. It feels good. And the best part....my back did not hurt this morning when I woke up!!! The exercising is working and that's what moved my butt from the bed to the treadmill!
Today we also went as a family to help Trent get his room ready for school. I'm soooo ready for school to start. The boys need to get back to some structure soon. They just pick at each other constantly and Aleah needs a little less brotherly influence and "guidance" :). We'll just spend lots of family time together this week doing fun things and preparing to start our school routine! Guess that means going to bed a bit earlier....that's such a hard habit to change.
