Running

This blog will be short and sweet, I'm tired.

I feel like I am getting flabby and fat, and it's likely true.  Kinda pathetically amusing that I was more fit working at BK the world capitol of fat.  Anyhow, because my will power sucks I am not going to lie to myself and claim to make dietary changed that will last a week.  I want to eat whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it and wash it all down with plenty of super sweet tea and mountain dew.  True story.  But I don't need to be lazy.  I enjoy some exercise.  Not stationary exercise though, so the odd of me "toning up" are about a -7 chance out of a 1 and 10....

However I do attempt to jog/walk 4 5ks a week while the kidlets bike along.  Truth be told, they certainly slow me down, but 1.  they enjoy coming along, 2. it's healthy for all of us and 3.  I go at dusk-dark so obviously can't/won't leave them at home by theirselves and Marko is nearly always working.
On Friday I bought my first pair of shoes in 3 years.  for $30 down from $100 they aren't bad.
*ignore the calamine lotion for the bug bites that is smeared on my leg and dripped on my sock.  These are my new shoes.  I'd rather have had orange ones, but cheapskates who want decent name brand running shoes can't be choosy. 

I am "in training" for my first race.  It's actual a virtual race meaning, I won't physically be running at the exact same time/place/path as other runners, but we are all running this charity race.
