Well my friends… the running bug has seriously BIT me.
I’ve got the fever.
I think we’ve found our next race… ready for this?…
Whatcha think? I’m crazy? 10 MILES??
Holy Bananas people. I’ll let you on that one…
Tuesday night, I made a tasty baked sweet potato with Laughing Cow Cheese…
the garlic & herb in the sweet potato was so divine! This was actually a recipe out of The Biggest Loser Family cookbook I have. Go fig?
After dinner I felt very restless, I hadn’t worked out yet today {in less you consider watching twin 2 year olds for the day a workout… I think it is} so I decided to go for a run while Hubs mowed our huge-o backyard and tiny-miny front yard. I did one lap around this trail we have right by our house, about 1-mile. It felt so good to get out and MOVE. I ran a little bit, I walked a little bit and then a really good song came on my iPod and the wind started to blow, so I got a bit pumped and sprinted until I thought I could FALL OVER. {Note: I did not fall over, just really considered it} Gosh it felt GOOD! I’m pretty convinced this running fever is here to stay! 
It’s so much fun!
In other news my fantastic Hubs is considering doing a Triathlon, when and where hasn’t been determined, but I’ll keep you posted. He keeps saying “WE” when we talked about the triathlon… I smile and nod and know that I’ll probably get drug into doing it too… do I fear? Um… Yes. But I could do it. I have confidence in myself.
Then there’s been talk of the doing the Houston Rodeo Run next year. That’d be fun!
So we’ll see what’s to come… I’m excited about the possibilities!
So tell me, what’s the BIGGEST challenge you’ve ever considered/accomplished? Anything, name it. I wanna know.

Go woman Go! Run woman Run!
….and while you’re doing all that running, run on over to my house and cook me up that divine sweet potato. K?
Go team Giles! You guys are awesome! Congrats on completing the 5k! What an accomplishment! Up next a 10k?! WOW! A triathlon?! Extra wow! No doubt in my mind you guys can do it! There’s nothing like having a buddy alongside with you in maintaining an active lifestyle, eh?
Biggest challenge I’ve ever accomplished? I guess completing the first 3 miles I ran after not even being able to run even ONE mile. Those 3 miles paved the way for 5, for 7, for 10, 15 and all the way up to 19 miles.
Holy Moly! 10 miles? Good for you! I can’t even run 1:) I certainly wish I liked to run…

I forgot about the 10 for Texas!!! I wanted to do that one last year, but I had a conflict. Score! Hmmm…we might have to join you on this one too. I wonder if I can get Greg to do it as well!
