Running

Any runners out there reading this blog? Are you the committed type who really enjoys it or the "I-do-it-because-I-know-I-should" type? You don't have to share with me here, of course, that's just me musing about my own running.

I've been doing a lot of running...but not the healthy kind. I've been running in my mind. Sound a little deep? Not really, just truthful. I've said it before, I'm keeping this blog real, folks.

So, yeah, I've been running. Ironic considering I'm such a non-physically-inclined person. If I'm going to run at least I should get on track, and get going in the right direction.

Tonight Chris and I are resuming a journey. We'd been walking hard for two years, then just when we got some strong traction, we took a seat on the sidelines. And, just like with a lack of physical exercise, our muscles got a bit weak, and the longer we sat there the easier it was to ignore the pain...and The Plan. But, not really. And, not anymore.

Fresh Start. Teamwork. Accountability. It's the order of our Wednesday evenings for the next 13 weeks. Time to stretch the muscles again, put that spandex back on, and hit the track.

Happy New Year 2009!

It's here, friends! A new year...sparkling and fresh with possibilities...some yet unknown. Ah, yes...[rubbing hands together]...where to begin?

Resolutions? Well, I prefer to call them goals.

For the first time ever I am putting "lose weight" on my list of things to do. Twelve pounds would make me feel better both physically and mentally. Regular exercise, no excuses, is also up near the top. These are, of course, in no particular order or the exercise would have been mentioned before the weight loss goal, ha! Improving not only my health but assisting in the same for my hubby. More effort to balance the meals, make more at home and spend far less eating out--truly our weakness, folks. Push my grade point average up to 4.0 overall. (That's off to a good start by-the-way with a 4.0 after completing fall term!) Being a better friend to those that are mine.* Regular prayer time and Bible study...not just at church (ouch). More travel. More culture. More, please! And a real, true, live website for Pfeiffer Photos is a goal Chris and I share for this year--yup, that's a biggie!

I thank all of you for reading, for following, for commenting, for returning time and again, and for being my online friends--it means more to me than you know.

*As my first random act of kindness for '09, I encourage you to visit the blog of Leah aka Moxie Photo & Design. She's hosting a GIVEAWAY to start the new year off right. With multiple ways to enter it's just a no brainer that you would head on over and try your luck. I don't know why more folks aren't already following her blog [yes, you can sign up while you're there!] but trust me, you'll love the goodies she's planning and plotting to send your way if you win!

Here's wishing everyone a very healthy and oh, so Happy New Year 2009!
