The only problem I have found with this... is that it doesn't exactly inspire me to care about how I look. I mean - casual clothes=casual attitude=casual eating and lifestyle. I'm not sure what happened - or why - but since our wedding (4 months ago today) I have gained 10 pounds. :/ My eating habits have actually improved as I am cooking at home most nights and I haven't slowed down any in my activities... but I have packed on the pounds! Now, I must decide what to do to remedy this awful "development". Not to give TMI but I guess it could have something to do with the "family planning" type medicine I now take...
Soooooooooooo... I know working out is the answer. I guess I'm looking for the motivation. Other than weight loss - I need a goal. My FB friend, Erica, has mentioned that she is going to run the Rodeo 10k in 6 weeks. I have always wanted to run, to be a runner, but I've never done anything to make that happen. I guess my point/question is this... are you a runner? How did you get started? How far is a 10k anyways?? Do you think it's possible for a sedentary woman with no time to spare, a full-time job/ministry, and a family to "train" for something like that... or should I give up before I start and just read your answers while eating a homemade chocolate chip caramel sundae?? MMMMmmmmmm YUMMY!

A 10K is abt 6.2 miles and u could totally do it! When u put yr mind to something, u r one of the most hard-headed... umm, I mean determined ;) people that I know!! Don't know when the rodeo run is or if there's enough time to train for that one but u cld always shoot for another one. Or even start out small with a 5K... Google "team in training" and see if they have training tables online - they r who I used when training for the marathon. If u hv to pay to see their stuff just google marathon training or training tables for a 10k or something similar.. Good luck!! Love u.
Run, Crissy, Run!!! :)
i know you can do a 10k, but you should start with a 5k. a 10k is a big jump from 0k. you should build up your confidence and let your body get used to the impact. the impact from my feet hitting the ground for however many miles is way more of a limiting factor to me than being out of breath.
anyway, just sign up and do it already! i am running the 10k but i'll be happy to run the first part with you before the distances split off (i think they started together last year, but i can't swear to it).
I'm with Shawna! I know you can do it. There is a 5K, like Shawna mentioned, and several of my friends, including my mom, are doing that one. Join us and you will be committed to the fun!!! yes, it will be fun. Go register today~you can do it! And you will have another shirt to add to your collection
Thanks guys! Although I MUST be crazy... you have convinced me. 5k here I come! (SLOWLY)
