Exercise

I've been considering it.  More so lately, because everyone is talking about weight.  And usually in terms of weight loss.  I apparently do not know the meaning of loss, since the last time I stepped on the scale I had gained.  

Two kg.  TWO!!  

And remember I'm American!  We don't use kg, we weigh things in pounds!!! 1 kg = 2.2 fffffffffffffff lbs!!!  :(  Really not the kind of math you want to be doing now that the beaches are open.  

So, exercise it is.  What's the best exercise? Running.  What's the exercise I dislike the most? Running.  So what am I doing? Running.  This should be fun.  But it won't be too bad because now I have a friend to run with.  Jill!    

This is what she had to say about our first run on her blog:

 

Running Partners!

I've always wanted a running partner!  Problem is, I've never been a good runner, and most people with running partners get together and run miles and miles everyday!  I needed someone who could run a 1/2 mile... stop... rest... and then another 1/2 mile back!  Well, lucky for me, I've got myself a running partner, and a new friend!  I met Meagan when my school's volleyball team played hers a little while back.  Turns out, we're neighbors and live less than a 5 minute walk from each other!  We had dinner together on Thrusday and decided to become running partners to get our summer bodies ready for the beach!

We mapped out our jog/run with www.mapmyrun.com (which is awesome by the way!) and did a full pace run for 1/2 mile to Home Plus and then jogged back .62 miles, stopping at the convenient store for some ice cream at the end!  I realize this completely negates the calories we burned during the workout, but we felt we should celebrate our first day of running together!  

May there be many more neighborhood runs to come!
