I've been slowly getting back into shape and in the last 3 wks have already lost 7 pounds which I'm pretty excited about, especially considering I'm doing a Biggest Loser Competition with the guys at work and I have to win!! I made a decision this week... I'm going to start running. I haven't really ran in a long time & only did it then because our trainer in the athletic depart. made me, I was awful then too! So, I'm signing up for a race in September (picked this particular one only because it's in Omaha so there won't be a major trip required).... ahhhh!!! There, I said it.... no turning back now!
This morning I suited up in all my old Aggie workout apparel, my Nike's (shout out to my sister @Kfun for free shoes!!! whoop whoop!), grabbed my dog and headed out. I thought it was going to be extremely painful and I'd be back in 10 minutes but I actually surprised myself and did really well, considering. Don't get me wrong there was walking but there was more running (or to steal from my sis jogging with a soft J) then walking. I jammed to everything from Miley & Lady Gaga to Nitty Gritty Dirt Band & Jason Boland.
Incase you were wondering what my running experience looked like please reference the picture below.... that pretty much sums it up, beauty and grace plus a rocking body
Nonetheless I did surprise myself and need all the support and motivation I can get!!

Hahahaha! I died laughing at the graceful picture! I think it's a Dorman trait! ;-)
PS - I'm really proud of you! :-) Keep it up!
Awesome! You'll be a speed demon by September! I have a race on the 27th of this month and one next. We'll see how that goes.
Thank you so much for the compliment!! I would love to do your family pictures! Just let me know when you come to town next and we'll work something out!
