I don't run.

I don't run. Last year, Thanksgiving, I ran in my first 5K (I use the term "run" loosely!) but I finished! and I felt LESS guilty about stuffing my face the rest of the day.

I don't run.  July 1, I did my first obstacle race... the Dirty Girl.. a women-only, mud-filled day of fun to raise money for Breast Cancer. My awesome friend Becca (she DOES run!) was my faithful partner as we made our way over walls, through mud pits, around tires, up a cargo net, and through MORE mud pits...  here we are at the end...

I don't run. This year, I decided it was time to make a change.  I needed to eat better and move MORE. I am lucky to live in an area with LOTS of trails - so what better way to get out and exercise then by hitting the trails?

Then I figured out, I could combine this new "hobby" with my love of being crafty...

I made my own Running Journal :-) A hybrid of sorts - a place to record my training, add pictures from races, and keep memorabilia. Here are pictures of the inside...

...and some more pages for when my Dirty Girl pictures show up...

The back section is divided by months so I can record race times, training, paces etc...

I don't run.  I am just starting out with the Ease to 5K program (free App in App store!) - well I am on week 3. At week 8 I have a 5K - and it is my goal to RUN the ENTIRE thing...even though... I don't run.
