So admist my crazy life of church, work, school, and being awesome... I have pushed myself to develop a pattern of exercise. I am the type of person who loves thinking about being healthy and getting in shape, but when it comes down to crunch-time, I struggle with my priorities. After serious mental alignment I have started running four times a week... and I can't stop! I feel addicted to something so great and want to run all the time. I prefer running solo because I can set my own pace and don't feel in competition or sorely inadequate in comparison with a running partner. I love having my ipod tucked into my spandex and feeling the sweat on my forehead. As I set a beat with my lengthy strides, I feel so free and driven. I have one goal in mind and it is to NEVER STOP. Just keep going. One more block... fight that asthma, Caraline, fight it... It's great to have reached the point where I'm no longer day-dreaming about being healthy. I'm proactive!
Except for the part of where I eat donuts and chips and cereal all the time.
But I ask you not to judge me but to rather condone my efforts. Everyone should go running! I encourage everyone, everywhere to get off their potato chip crummed couch and put on a good pair of running shoes and smell that fresh air that awaits you. Maybe I'll see you running and do the tiresome left hand wave. Because I'm ready ready ready... ready to RUN!

thanks for coming to see me and letting me sprain your ankle today...it made my day :) And i would be proactive and run, but considering how that beastly girl ran me over today, i'm somewhat crippled at the moment.
5 months until california :)
