Running.....smunning

Since Bruce's irreplaceable running buddy moved to France today, he had to find a replacement. Although I didn't mind running in junior high and was one of the fastest girls in my class, I can't say that I love running very much. I see running as a means to accomplish a goal (a sports related goal). Example: I need to run the bases when I get a hit in softball; I need to run up and down the basketball court in order to be a good player; I need to run in order to set the ball in volleyball; and I need to run up and down the field in ultimate Frisbee in order for anyone to want me on their team. Not to mention the need to run into the end zone for a touchdown. Seeing as how I need to exercise (because blowing the whistle and yelling at the girls to run the play again at practice doesn't constitute true exercise), I decided to get up and go running with Bruce to fulfill his overwhelming running desires. It's been a while since I have run long distances, and I almost made it the full 1 1/2 miles we ran today. I was amazed at Bruce's athletic prowess ability as he raced around the corner (Bruce told me to add this). I can certainly tell he is more rehearsed and in shape than me. Day 1 down. 294 more to go until Bruce's true and experienced running buddy comes back! Then I can once again sleep for 20 more minutes before needing to get ready for work. :) Sorry! No pictures. I don't look too flattering with a red face and nauseous stomach.

At least you try, be proud of yourself for that!

Hey guys!

Sure miss you! (and I guess Brittney is really missing us too...) Brooklyn and Talia are right in there on the missing. So keep up the good work Brittney, and keep counting the days - I've gone running a few times here already but need to be a little more diligent if I'm going to keep up with Bruce.
