1.5.10

I ran 2 miles without stopping today! I was so proud of myself. I used to run a really, REALLY long time ago when David and I first got married and I even ran a couple of 5K races but then I remembered that sitting on the couch and surfing the net was much more comfortable. But lately, I have needed something to do and to be honest, I weigh more than I have ever weighed in my life. I've done Weight Watchers, I've done diets but honestly, running is the cheapest, easiest and most reliable way of losing weight I've found. David is running the Myrtle Beach Marathon in February (as he does every year) and this year, I told him to sign me up for the 5K race that's held the day before the marathon. I knew if I had a goal like a race to prepare for, I would do it.

David gave me an iPod shuffle for Christmas and I have enjoyed having my own iPod to fill with my own music. So, I'd like to thank the following people for helping me get through 2 miles today: Celine Dion, Coldplay, Europe, Guns n' Roses, Jay Sean, Rihanna, New Kids on the Block, Justin Timberlake and Ryan and Sharpay. Without them, I would have been collapsed on the gym floor.
