Stretching

Last night I sat down to stretch before leaving for my run. Liam decided he wanted to be a part of my routine and plopped himself right down in between my legs. He made it a little hard for me to stretch properly, but he also gave us a good laugh. (I apologize for subjecting you to the extreme glare that is coming from my way-too-white-to-be-photographing legs!)

I am on the second week of the Couch to 5k program and I am loving it! It hasn't been as easy as I'd thought it would be. I had hoped my that body would remember "how to run" even though it's been two years, but no such luck. Each workout is a challenge. I really hope to run a 5k in May or June, and then a half by the end of 2010. I've always said that I want to run a half...I've just never had the guts to do it. Putting this goal of running a half this year in writing kind of scares me. It seems like much more of a commitment than just saying it out loud for some reason.

This is completely off topic, but has anyone ever tried the Lemon-Berry slush at Sonic??? If not, go now to your local Sonic and try one. I tried a friend's today, and one sip wasn't enough. I had to stop on my way home and get my very own large Lemon-Berry slush. It is so good...the perfect mix of sweet and sour! (Don't make the same mistake I did and check the nutritional information when you get home, though. I promise you....you won't like what you see. Ha!)
