A Great Run

Here's a picture of Jolie in front of the Snake River. I would post a picture of myself also but it's illegal to post a picture of legs that are as white as mine (and I had my shorty shorts on)--so sorry!

Anyway, today Jolie and I took our first spring run at Jensen's Grove. We were both so grateful to be out in the sunshine! She fell asleep after 3-1/2 miles so I kept going and finished at 6. It was in fact so nice outside that I had a Forrest Gump moment and "just kept running."

I signed up for the Pocatello Half Marathon again which is September 5th, but I would also like to do a couple 10k's etc... so if anyone hears of anything fun let me know AND let's run together! In case you need some convincing I made a list of reasons I love running that might swing your vote and get you out there with me... I think that I've proven that anyone can do it!

1. I love running because it's an individual sport. You are only competing against yourself and working towards the next PR.

2. I love running because I can be outside and the scenery changes keep my mind active and happy.

3. I love running because it has changed my life--it's helped me accomplish goals that I never thought possible!

4. I love running because it has helped me strengthen friendships and build new ones.

5. I love running because some days it's hard and some days it's a piece of cake.

6. I love running because I can do it with my family.

7. I love running because it makes me feel good about myself.

8. I love running because it helps me push myself and appreciate my ability to run.

9. I love running because you can run in fun races and get cool schwag.

10. I love running because it has made me stronger mentally and physically.
