Running Down a Dream

Tonight I did something major: I finished week two of the Couch to 5K running plan. I think I've started this thing twice before, but this time - I've done two weeks! That's a big deal to me. This evening I ran on the treadmill, which helped my sore shins. It felt like less of a painful ordeal - yes, it's even getting easier! Not easy, yet, but better.

I've had some troubling health...well, symptoms, not really "problems," yet. But I'm scared into behaving in the food/exercise department! Hey, whatever it takes. I just want to do all I can to be available and healthy for my kids, as long as possible.

For all of you who were wondering what an "elephant ear" is, here's a photo, hastily taken - my first food porn!



It's really just fried bread dough, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Somehow, it's the most amazing thing - it almost melts in your mouth.

Way to go Beth! That's great. I have no desire to run, ever. I suppose I should do some form of exercise- there just dont seem to be any that appeal to me. :)
That elephant ear appeals to me though!

Ahhh...so that's what an elephant ear is. I was wondering...

Good for you for running! I need to start working out, too. I know I'd feel better if I'd JUST DO IT! I lack the motivation. Sigh.

Yum, elephant ears.
