Jealous

On President's Day we all enjoyed a fun day off together. I will have to post pics later. After much debating, we made another crazy late afternoon trip down to WX. One of the highlights was that Louis and I finally went to the Salt Lake Running company to get him some new shoes. He has been having some complications with his ankle and it has been pretty discouraging for him. We are hoping these new shoes and inserts will help out. He has also finally promised to take it easy and work his way back into running. As opposed to the last few times he's jumped back in to go on a ten plus mile run with me cold turkey after five months of my own training..... not always a good move, besides totally offending my ego! He's going on his first run tonight and I surely hope it is motivating and stress-relieving and fun! I am jealous. This is a good sign. Last year I tried to get back in touch with the runner's high, but my emotional instability just wasn't allowing for it. Here's hoping that after this baby I will be able to find my peace and sanity in a daily run. How I miss it! In the mean while, I will just keep being jealous of all of you who are blogging about your amazing workouts and runs and this crazy Olympian who makes me look like a lazy bump on a log.

I love that you love running! I want to love it too! I do after I've gotten over the hump. But that takes a few months.

I hear you!!! Will has been working out like a mad man while I was pregnant getting fat! So NOT fair! Now that she's out and I still have to wait 3 more weeks I'm going crazy! Hey do you know what it is yet or did I miss that post?

I know how you feel. I had to work so hard to get to 4 miles and then one day Scott just went out and did 4 miles in a time that I could only dream about. I was offended as well. Can't they at least pretend it was hard? In the mean time just eat some extra calories for me and the baby! You'll get back to it. And um, yea. I am with all the above people. I need belly pics. NOW!!!! please ;).

Me and Megan have committed each other to run the WX Memorial Day 5K! I might be good for one or two blocks.

I'm with Louis, running hurts. I will have to check out the Salt Lake running store. Every time I try to be active, it feels like I have bursitis in my right hip. I should probably get that checked out.

I agree, I will come and tell Rich I did so many minutes at the gym, and he says, I do that twice! I will be with you this fall, I am gonna have to get in shape somehow. And, you are no bump on a log, you could run circles around me.

Congratulations! We did not even know. I am sorry you can't do all that you want right now, but we are excited for you and your growing family.
