RUN FORREST!!!
I have decided to go back to running. I ran my first half marathon in San Diego last July. Completely embarrassed by my time I have resorted to say that my only goal was to finish. For those of you who don't know...I quit my job at Massage Envy and had my first week doing only outcall massage this week. I already feel so much of the stress off of my shoulders. I wasn't giving any time to myself ....no time to praying, no time to exercising, no time to keeping up my house. I was going to work....coming home...getting the kids homework done, dinner started, and out the door to massage my personal clients. It was just too much. I love what I do and have been very fortunate to have enough personal clients right now. So....for all those who know and love me and want to encourage and hold me accountable...I am revisiting the pavement to get myself back into shape. I am still going to say that the time it takes to run a few miles still isn't as important as the fact that I am getting my butt out there and doing it. I may be as slow as it gets....but watch out Gump! Here I come!

I am SO.PROUD.OF.YOU!!!!!!
Good job, Erin. Glad to hear you are doing something positive like this. I will throw out there, though, that you shouldn't try and overdo it...remember that Forrest was an A-Cup, mmmmkay?
crap. fine. I will really do it now. Novemeber? Wanna be my partner? Not as in LIFE partner. I can be the Bubba to your Gump. Lemme know. So far this week (and may I remind you it is Friday) I have done one day of push ups and upper body weights, worked strenuously in my garden(aka hard dirt ground), and eaten enough oreos to make it all worthless. I am exhausted. YAAWN.
yes....I am a tad concerned about the black eyes that may result from my NOT A-cup tots... I would love a Bubba to keep me goin! WE CAN DOOOOO IT!!!!
Erin- I think that running is a fabulous idea... but if you start totting around with a six pack again like your post-jeffrey self I will dis-own you.
i think this is AWESOME! and i am super proud of you. i know that marathon was tough, but i can't wait to see what impossible feats you accomplish in the future! you rock, my friend!
